Mooni Van Tichel

STILL RADIANT ALIVE

Attack, defend, wipe the sweat away, and reload. An immortal superhero pushes on and on, building a super body and super stories - her attempts seem effortless. But slowly, small cracks begin to form in her grand gestures. Can this hero change the world? Or is she, too, trapped in a system with no way out?

In this solo, Mooni works with a stop-motion movement quality, precisely following the beat. She explores questions of violence, power, glory, pain, and vulnerability, navigating between superhuman invincibility and human fragility.

Mooni Van Tichel has a background in hip-hop, house, and breaking. In 2021, she earned a master’s degree in contemporary dance from P.A.R.T.S. That same year, she won De Troffel. Her graduation solo, Deep Nyx, was previously performed at Festival Cement. In 2024, she created STILL / ALIVE, her first group performance.
