In Common Enemy, Ved unites the apparent extremes of her dance background. Contemporary dance, hip-hop, and breakdance merge into an organic whole. She collaborates with the Heavy Hitters, the close crew and local heroes from the Haags Hiphop Centrum who produced no less than the world champion breakdance. 

With 6 dancers, Common Enemy proceeds from the question how chaos and menace can make a community stronger. In a game situation of group versus individual balance, the movement patterns of ‘man’ and ‘the B-boy’ come together in extremely physical dance theatre. An abstraction of breakdance persists in questions about our instincts and interpersonal  dynamics.  

After a fruitful research period in 2022, the crew and choreographer created this full-length performance on invitation by Korzo.
