MÅNGATA
Choreography: Wubkje Kuindersma
Dancers Dutch National Ballet Junior Company: Timothy van Poucke & Salome Leverashvili
Music:  Arvo Pårt's Mozart- Adagio
​Premiere: 17 Februari 2017 Theater de Meervaart Amsterdam 


Mångata means ¨moonstreet¨  and refers to the roadlike reflection of the moonlight on water.
Mångata  to Arvo Pårt's Mozart-Adagio  is a duet by Wubkje Kuindersma about a meeting of two young people in moonlight. 
The two share a magical moment.. When the moon disappears, it's time to say goodbye... 
The next mångata will bring them back together again...


Mångata premiered in the touring program of the Dutch National Ballet Junior Company:  Juniors Go Dutch
Juniors Go Dutch is an attractive and challenging program, in which we get to know the stars of the future via work of famous and new choreographers. 
The program presented works of the 3 famous Van's: Hans van Manen, Toer van Schayk and Rudi van Dantzig.

Existing work by Juanjo Arques and 3 world premieres: work of Ton, Simons, Peter Leung and Wubkje Kuindersma.

¨Choreographing is for Kuindersma like ¨dreaming with her eyes open.¨  The young Dutch choreographer made in 2010 her first choreography and created since then several works. In 2016 she received the BNG Bank Dance Award for young choreographic talent.¨

reviews

¨ ...Wubkje Kuindersma made a number of pieces in the Netherlands and Germany and in 2016  she won the BNG Bank Dance Award for young choreography talent. Mångata is a composition of the Swedish words for 'moon' and 'way' and refers to the reflection of the moon over the water. From two sides the road is entered by a man and a woman who seek closeness in a virtuoso game of clean lines for a short time.¨  (translated from dutch)
Theaterkrant 
¨...Of the thirteen young ballet dancers, one has the Dutch nationality, Timothy van Poucke, from a well-known musical genre. His guts and musicality stand out. At least such an eye-catcher is the Georgian Salome Leverashvili who combines an exact technique with a radiant performance. She sparkles, both during the impressive series of fouettés in the classic pas de trois from Le Corsaire and in the new duet with Van Poucke, created by choreographic talent Wubkje Kuindersma. She delicately debuts in the classical world, enlivening warm-blooded romance with playful accents such as in air-cycling legs.¨  (translated from dutch)
