HUMAN premiere in Brussels
HUMAN Premiere in Brussels moved to october 2021
The Corona Pandemic also necessitated a change of date for the HUMAN premiere in Brussels: this will not be in early November 2020, but is now scheduled for early October 2021.
HUMAN is an inspiring and empowering opportunity for young people—and everyone else involved—to explore and create collectively. Its focus on humankind’s shared values, needs and wishes, through a creative and caring process, counterbalances the current flood of global issues that constantly threaten our inner sense of stability.

The HUMAN project strives to encourage young people to develop their own strengths and visions so that they can make their own way as part of a free and tolerant society.

In helping to shape them, the HUMAN European Culture Project pays tribute to human rights and all those involved.

To us as a label, the HUMAN project means empathy and enthusiasm for interpreting the UN’s declaration of human rights in music and dance in a brand-new way.
Marcus Heinicke
Senior Product Manager, Edel Kultur/Berlin Classics
People dancing together is the ideal way of engaging with each other in a spirit of openness, respect and acceptance.
Wilfried van Poppel
Choreography Team HUMAN Premiere and head of HUMAN school projects
A great project! I wish all participants deeply lasting and happy impressions and experiences. I would love to dance along right away! And finally, I also hope that the message will get to places and people where it is most urgently needed, so that human rights can really be rights for all people.

What it means to be human can be experienced sensually and with a lot of heart by HUMAN. As an orchestra, we give our voice to this call out around the world.”
Julia Böhmer
General Manager, Deutsches Kammerorchester Berlin
I’m so enthusiastic about HUMAN because this creative dance project brings my somewhat gutsy composure to the fore where there is no dividing line between a playful presence and depth, spirituality and human rights.
Pierre Stutz
Author of the HUMAN book "Menschlichkeit JETZT!"
Well, I think human rights are an incredibly brilliant idea! The fact that human beings as a species, which is very much characterised by survival of the fittest, can conceive of such ideals of equality, freedom and solidarity is a phenomenal achievement.
Morten Reisemann
Ensemble Member, HUMAN Dance Premiere Bremen
For me, HUMAN is about essentials: Beyond language and cultural barriers, we are people - with bodies that want to move. Community Dance can overcome walls and build bridges! So let us dance!
Nanni Kloke
Choreography Team HUMAN Premiere
Being HUMAN is our reality, but feeling HUMAN is our right. Through this project and through dance we want to invite participants to love and express life, feeling, understanding and working together for a better world.
Amaya Lubeigt
Choreography Team HUMAN Premiere and head of HUMAN school projects
The book Menschlichkeit JETZT! by Pierre Stutz and Helge Burggrabe is a wake up call, not to separate between caring good for one self and live with empathy for others. I discover in this book and in the HUMAN project something which is an impuls and inspiration for our work as publishing group: Have a good life and live the good!

For me, dance makes my world better. I tell stories and images with it. It's something very personal, intimate and at the same time very communal.
Mina Raschiatore
Ensemble, HUMAN Dance Premiere Bremen
Dancing together is so wonderful. Dance is a great language that all people understand. For me, it is a great joy to express the 13 pieces on being human. I am really gripped by dance fever!

In a dance project like HUMAN, everyone can participate. One's own abilities are taken into account and the best is brought out.
