Trevoga Collective (Netherlands) - Xx-63

After their award-winning 11 3 8 7 performance (Best of Amsterdam Fringe 2023, NRC top 5 best performances of 2023-2024), Xx-63 delves deeper into the depths and substrata of desire, seduction and contemporary escapism. The result is a blistering performance where dance, visual imagery, theatre and electronic soundscapes merge to create a dystopian dreamscape - unsettling, sensual and overwhelming. The choreography flirts with tension in all its sexual charge, infused with a wry sense of unease.

Inspired by club culture and fuelled by an urgent rage, the performers explore how bodies respond to a world that constantly excites, seduces and consumes. In Xx-63, the white capitalist body is not a sacred place but an abandoned shopping mall: crammed with the remnants of consumer culture, synthetic chemicals and sexually charged images. Here, fear is not an abstraction, but a physical state - something that crawls, wriggles and bites.

The performers scratch at the shiny surface of urban hyperreality and lay bare its disturbing undercurrents. Clichés and symbols are distorted into sensual, wry forms; what emerges is a mirror of a grotesque and confused present.

Trevoga Collective, led by Sandberg x SNDO alumna Neda Ruzheva, is a chaotic intersection of hope fanatics, doomsayers and emotional outsiders. What binds them is the radical choice not to suppress stress and tension, but to embody it. The stage turns into a dissection table: a place for self-analysis as a symptom of an era addicted to instant kicks, redefining the future as something raw, alive and unpredictable - a state worth keeping you up at night.

Xx-63 is not a performance for sitting back and relaxing. It is a sensory assault. A trip. A dance on the edge of the system.
