United-C, formerly United Cowboys, is a Dutch Theatrecompany, settled in Eindhoven.
Under director Maarten van der Put and choreographer Pauline Roelants, United-C creates performances in which more than one discipline participates; dance, music, video, text.
The company works with a varying group of performers, both dancers and actors, from 1 up to 8 persons per performance.
United-C creates works starting from the human being as both mighty as well as vulnerable creatures.
That fascination, observing, registering and pushing to a certain limit, is fuel for the performances of United-C.
One remark: it's never explicit about a story, an anecdote, only all the components together, they make the piece and form the content. It results in performances known as intriguing and controversial. They stand out from the everage theatre offer by their expressive, musical and straight style". (pressquote)
United-C has a small but firm core and a recognizable style and vision on theatre.
