In GRIMM, two brothers find themselves transported via a video game into a world filled with familiar fairy-tale characters, an evil witch and dizzying dance, where hip-hop and ballet come together in surprising ways.

The dancers behind GRIMM speak out
In the season brochure, two dancers who formed the very first cast of GRIMM in 2018 shared their experiences: ISH dancer Raquel Tijsterman and Manu Kumar, now a dancer with the Dutch National Ballet. Tijsterman explains how she acted as a bridge between the two dance worlds, and how she transformed Cinderella into a headstrong, salsa-dancing tough girl. Kumar describes how the encounter between the disciplined world of ballet and the free-spirited, creative energy of ISH set something special in motion — and how the ISH dancers still amaze him with their freestyles during the interval.
