Praised by press and public and praised for its stunningly beautiful images, the performance of “Silenzio” by LeineRoebana, focuses on the music of Sofia Gubaidulina, Arvo Pärt and Josquin des Prez. “The accordion breathes, the cello has soul, and together they merge perfectly with the dance of LeineRoebana.”

“Silenzio” was performed at the Corrosia Theatre in Almere-Haven, Netherlands on May 1st, 2025. The accordionist was Renée Bekkers.

“In this new adaptation of the piece, silence and explosion alternate like an unpredictable waltz. A dance between subdued and frenzied, between threat and relaxation, between serene peace and an avalanche of human emotions.”

“The dancer’s body merges with the breath of the accordion and the soul of the cello.”

“Silenzio” features iconic compositions for cello and accordion by Sofia Gubaidulina, Josquin des Prez, George Crumb and Arvo Pärt and electronic soundscapes by Dyane Donck.

Prior to the performance, LeineRoebana invited the audience to get acquainted with dancers, musicians and choreographers for a special introduction to the stage: half an hour before the start, the hall doors open for the Audience Reception, which has become very popular with the audience.
