Statement by Marijin Rademaker and Slava Tütükin
The company was founded on the belief that the experience and maturity of artists bring a unique depth and richness to performance.
This pioneering ensemble brings together world-class dancers such as Diana Vishneva, Edward Watson, Gil Roman, Silvia Azzoni, and Alexandre Ryabko, alongside renowned choreographers including John Neumeier, Sir Wayne McGregor, and Pam Tanowitz. Together, they create a bold new repertoire that celebrates each artist's individuality, shaped and deepened by their maturity.
Through our work, we aim to show that aging is not a decline. It is a powerful and beautiful evolution of life, of expression, and of art itself.

We kindly ask that you refrain from waiting at the stage door of NHK Hall or in its vicinity to greet the Company's artists before or after the performances.
As the area also attracts many people who are not attending the performances, we have come to this decision, after discussing with the theatre, to prioritise the safety and security of all visitors in the area.
