Carte Blanche rearranged.

CANCEL BERTHA – an anagram of Carte Blanche – is a dance performance that moves to its own rhythm – a playful blend of energy, curated chaos, and unexpected creativity. The performance reflects Belgian choreographer Jan Martens’ signature approach: reimagining dance as a space for individuality, connection, and subtle humor. Scenes flow seamlessly from one moment to the next, blurring the boundaries between moments of ecstatic group energy and sequences of suspended intimacy.

In CANCEL BERTHA, music isn’t always what you hear—it’s what you see and feel. True to Martens’ fascination with rhythm, structure, and music scores, the dancers’ movements become their own soundscape. Silence holds as much weight as motion, and geometric patterns emerge in delightful ways.

Carte Blanche is the Norwegian National Company of Contemporary Dance. Based in Bergen, the ensemble tours worldwide. With CANCEL BERTHA, the Carte Blanche ensemble crafts a performance that balances the poppy, the avant-garde, and the deeply human.
