During the worldwide Corona-crisis, NDT offers a FREE registration of this ballet for you to watch until April 17, 2020. The Statement Choreography by Crystal Pite Dancers: Aram Hasler, Rena Narumi, Roger Van der Poel & Jon Bond ““The Statement is a wedge of realism; cold and current. We recognize both the characters and the language as being of our world and our time. The Statement is a one-act play, with four characters locked in their own battle for control, and with the morality of their actions: they have been tasked with fueling a conflict in a distant country. Character “A” declares: “For generations they’ve been fighting. All we did was use it. We used it as an opportunity - the attacks - for investment. For growth. We used it.” Now, being asked to take responsibility for their actions in order to exonerate their superiors, a conflict is rising within their department.” – Crystal Pite Filmed in 2018 in co-production with Mezzo and La Belle Télé, directed by Tommy Pascal.
