Eight dancers jump in strict repetition - a physical extreme that pushes the limits. Inspired by Philippe Halsman's idea that the mask falls when jumping, Martens shows a choreography between control and loss of control.

THE DOG DAYS ARE OVER 2.0 turns physical performance into a stage for a portrait of vulnerability - a powerful piece about discipline, exhaustion and the limits of the body. THE DOG DAYS ARE OVER was performed at the Potsdamer Tanztage in 2015. With more than 100 performances worldwide, this piece marked Jan Martens' international breakthrough. In 2.0, he returns with a new cast and a sharper focus: precise, unyielding, physically radical.
