About
In a world torn apart by violence, NITE and Club Guy & Roni make an urgent plea for empathy, humanity, and the power of art.
In 2002 Guy Weizman and Roni Haver founded Club Guy & Roni, and since then they have toured the country and abroad with full-length productions. Club Guy & Roni makes contemporary, idiosyncratic and explosive dance theater that is on the heels of current events. All performances are performed with newly composed, live music. In which percussionists and musicians often play a prominent role on stage as well. Club Guy & Roni is characterized by striking dancers, distinctly different from one another, each playing their own role in the precise radar work laid out by choreographer Roni Haver.
Since January 2017, Guy Weizman has also been artistic director of NITE (formerly Noord Nederlands Toneel) The two companies share office and studio spaces in Groningen, and Weizman created an interdisciplinary ensemble.
International collaborations
Weizman and Haver are ‘choreographers in residence’ at the Oldenburgisches Staatstheater from 2010 to 2014. Since the new theater season they have moved with the artistic staff from Oldenburg to the Staatstheater Mainz, with which a long-term relationship with the dance company tanzmainz is ushered in.
The choreography duo is also regularly invited by other companies for collaborative projects. Since 2011 they have been working together with the Moscow dance company Tsekh Contemporary Dance Center. Various co-productions have also been made in Tuscany and Belgrade, as well as Gothenburg Ballet (Sweden) and Carte Blanche (Norway). For 2015 a new co-production is planned with the Slovenian company EN-KNAP from Iztok Kovač.
Prizes
In recent years, Club Guy & Roni has made a name with performances such as ‘Alpha Boys’ (nominated for the Swan 2011) and ‘L’Histoire du Soldat’ (in 2013 the Golden Mask Award in Russia). Recently the company won in two consecutive years a Swan – the Oscar of dance – for the performance ‘Midnight Rising’ (best dance production 2013) and for dancer Igor Podsiadly for his role in ‘Naked Lunch’ (best dance performance 2014). In 2018 Guy Weizman won the Directors Award for Salam.
In October 2025, Guy Weizman and Roni Haver won the VSCD Golden Swan for their contribution to the Dutch dance sector. The jury praised Guy and Roni for their fearless and joyful approach to interdisciplinary work, their distinctive style of “XXL total theatre” with newly composed live music, and the way they constantly reinvent themselves without losing their authenticity. Their Human Odyssey series, their commitment to inclusivity and polyphony, and their nurturing of both established and emerging talent make them, in the words of the jury, “an indispensable artistic force in the Dutch dance field.”
