About

With over 15 years of experience, Vincent Riebeek creates provocative work that challenges and expands the boundaries of dance and performance. His pieces sit deliberately between high art and guilty pleasure — using bodily fluids, camp, and unfiltered intimacy as artistic strategy rather than shock for its own sake. He has been shown and supported across Europe and abroad, collaborating with leading contemporary dance institutions in Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Austria.

Gundhi

Riebeek's first outing as director: an armed yoga collective runs through its daily "Kalashnikov-asana" while holding a mirror up to its own radicalized following, asking whether pacifism still holds up in a world edging toward violence — with Gandhi's biography draped loosely around the piece, more echo than subject.

Final direction: Vincent Riebeek. Concept: Marieke de Zwaan, Vincent Rietveld, Ward Weemhoff.

Reflections of Empowerment, live performance

2023

Reflections of Empowerment

A 15-minute video installation made with Maxima Caram, exhibited at NoLimitsArtCastle as part of the group show "Artist Sex Worker Artist Show," accompanied by a live performance featuring Aryelle Freeman, commissioned by Sexyland and Stichting Captain Hoek on invitation of Jan Hoek.

The piece explores the multifaceted lives of sex workers — opening with a tribute to the late Sabrina Houston, a trans woman killed while working, before moving through the legislative and political climates that shape sex workers' lives. It celebrates the holy-whore archetype, body positivity, and the empowering, creative sides of sex work.

Don't Clap for Crap

A revival of Kein Applaus für Scheisse, the cult classic first performed by Florentina Holzinger and Vincent Riebeek in 2010 — this new interpretation, made with Nica Rosés, grapples with trust, sisterhood and love between the duo, and between the duo and the audience: an invitation to share a way of being in the world that only theatre allows.

Concept & dramaturgy: Vincent Riebeek, with Nica Rosés. Supported by Life Long Burning (AT). Co-production: Veem House for Performance (NL), Arsenic (CH), Divert (HR). Production: Dansco.

Uchronia

Uchronia explores the origins of dance and humanity by reimagining creation stories. Through collages and tableaux vivants, the performers invite the audience to envision new possibilities — starting from the origin of the world and asking: what if God were a trans woman? Would our movements change with a different understanding of where we come from?

From there it moves through human evolution, free of normative rules. Uchronia — meaning "no time," related to utopia — is a call for radical self-love, and for everyone to own their body.

By Vincent Riebeek with Slim Soledad, Rose Akras, Nica Roses, Antonio Maia. Video performance: Maxima Caram. Supported by Norma Fonds, AFK, Julidans (NL), Theater Rotterdam (NL), Arsenic (CH), Gessnerallee (CH), Sophiensaele (DE), Veem (NL), Festival Actoral (FR). Production: Dansco.

One of a Kind

A "con-temporary queer dance musical" — role-play and masks, nudity and playback, four performers balancing carefully on the line between art and entertainment, sharing a kaleidoscopic view of identity through a queer, all-seeing perspective. The piece invites the audience to build their own story around identity, authenticity and solidarity.
