Co(te)lette

Beauty and destruction, tenderness and brutality — the female body as battlefield.

Co(te)lette poster

This is the original stage recording of Ann Van den Broek’s iconic performance “Co(te)lette”, filmed in The Hague in 2007. Three female dancers explore the conflicting territories of flesh and femininity, beauty and destruction, tenderness and brutality, uncontrolled desire and the need for satisfaction — both physical and mental. There is no linear narrative, no solution, and no ending: only the raw presence of the performers and a score that merges church organ, voice, and noise. “Co(te)lette” is an intimate, unflinching meditation on the boundaries of body, gender, and gaze.
