'Tous les jours, a tous points de vue, on va de mieux en mieux' is an attempt by choreographer Hans Tuerlings to capture something that is elusive; as fleeting as the dance itself. Moments when everything falls into place, a fraction of a second when unexpected connections suddenly reveal themselves in their full glory.

In this piece, as in his other works, Hans Tuerlings strives for an unforced theatrical approach in which dance becomes the vehicle of understanding and comprehension of the everyday, complicated reality. The various scenes, shaped as loose sketches rather than a single storyline, are steered by the writings of emperor and philosopher Marcus Aurelius, freely interpreted and told by the dancers themselves. Lessons on living, because “if you can live, you can live well”.
