We all know her: the party girl. When she enters a room, you're not the only one who notices. She's impossible to miss yet remains elusive. Throughout the night, you catch glimpses of her. Maybe she asks you for a light. Maybe you hear her laugh from across the room. Maybe she brushes past you on the dance floor, or you catch a whiff of her perfume as she disappears into the crowd. Maybe you run into her by the bathroom stalls, in a situation that makes you blush. For a brief moment, your worlds overlap.
But you never see how the night ends for her. You never see how she finds her way home. You never find out where she goes when the music stops. And yet, she's there again, the next time on the dance floor.
P4rTy GWoRLz N3v4h Di3 brings together five performers from the nightlife scene in a performance spectacle that blends dance, theater, performance art, and aerial performance. Through the figure of the party girl, they enter a universe of transformation, excess, friendship, desire, and glorious imperfection.

Vincent Riebeek has been known since his debut with Florentina Holzinger in 2010 for his groundbreaking performances, which question conventions around identity, taste, and representation. After more than ten years of exploring the possibilities, risks, and transformative power of the body, he now turns his attention to the conditions that make such work possible.
