Sheree Lenting

We call it love. We call it loyalty. But what if we're actually talking about survival?

RIDE OR DIE is an interdisciplinary dance performance by the first City Choreographer of Rotterdam and the Netherlands Sheree Lenting. A creator whose work has already been awarded the BNG Bank Dance Prize and received ★★★★ reviews, and is known for work that does not move around the truth.

In this performance, she dives beneath the surface of love and relationships. Because what we feel does not come from nowhere. It is shaped by history, by what generations before us have carried, by patterns that still permeate how we love, trust and protect ourselves.

Three performers move between hip-hop, African and Caribbean diaspora and contemporary dance. Their bodies carry that history - but also look for a way out. For something new.

Film, spoken word and music pull you deeper inside, into a world where time layers intertwine and where love is not a romantic idea, but a choice that chafes.

RIDE OR DIE does not ask if you believe in love. It asks: what are you willing to break through to truly choose it?
