In a world full of distractions, where screen time demands our attention, Atemporal offers a vibrant performance in which choreographer Yentl de Werdt engages in a dialogue with musician Matchume Zango from Mozambique. ​

The performance is an invitation to experience the power of music and dance, to feel the connection between generations, cultures, and hearts. Atemporal brings people together through the unique sounds of Chopi music, a living heritage from Mozambique that has been passed down for generations.

The Chopi, recognized as World Heritage by UNESCO, use traditional instruments such as the timbila, or large wooden xylophones. Their music transcends time and speaks to the imagination. Atemporal is more than a performance; it is an invitation to dialogue, a bridge between artists, cultures, and audiences. ​

Atemporal challenges children to tap into their creativity, to let go, to move, and to discover. The piece allows them to use the other side of their brains and stimulates their imagination in a time when the digital world often takes over.

Preceding workshops make the unique experience of Atemporal accessible to everyone: an intense experience of music, dance, and connection, carried by the unique sounds of Chopi music from Mozambique.
