Ode to the attempt is a light and funny performance about making a show. When an artist creates something, he moves through different stages. Jan Martens wants to give those stages – which usually never see the light of day – a new life. While talking and dancing, he shows a self-portrait and touches upon themes such as authenticity, manipulations, perfectionism, humour and melancholy. In this solo, Martens provides insight in his way of working and his way of living and invites you to see inside his head and his computer.

Jan Martens (Belgium °1984) studied at the Fontys dance academy in Tilburg and graduated at the Artesis Conservatory for Dance in Antwerp in 2006. He performed in the work of amongst others: Koen De Preter, United-C, Mor Shani and Ann Van den Broek. In 2009 he started to develop his own choreographic work. In a short time his work received critical and popular acclaim which resulted in a growing number of shows performed mainly in the Netherlands and Belgium.
