Fall of a sparrow is set in a completely closed, cylindrical space in which dancers and camera are enclosed. In this video production, with specially composed music by Loran Delforge, the viewer comes close, very close; at the bottom of a naked void in which the body is in control.

With Fall of a sparrow, choreographer Joost Vrouenraets examines his view of theater and his movement language in a temperamental and stylized way.
The choreographer places the piece in the context of the current crisis, in which he embraces the changes - social, professional and personal.

Fall of a sparrow is recorded in the capsule of the former Columbus Earth Center (now Discovery Museum) in Kerkrade. The production is part of a longer-term research in which Joost Vrouenraets explores new ways of making dance.
