The game – Grand Finale (9+)
BELGIAN PREMIERE
Sports, games, cards, online gaming, rollerball, tag - games are simply everywhere. Jill Crovisier also loves to play. In this humorous, playful, and powerful performance with eight dancers, the Luxembourg-based choreographer explores all aspects of play.
Because play is competition, but not just competition. Play is also freedom, imagination, friendship, dreams, perseverance, and team spirit.
In The game – Grand Finale, we meet elves and wizards, Superman, the American football player,
a top avatar, even Batman, and a hilarious array of superheroes. They each play their own game, but together they also play the game of life. And what does that mean?
On the intersection of pop and gaming, The game – Grand Finale blends dance, music, and spoken word into a wonderfully captivating spectacle! As such, thé grand finale of Krokusfestival 2026!
