A body in resistance, three worlds of sound. In collaboration with Fiedel, Johanna Knutsson and Rivet, Frédéric Gies turns dance into protest, ritual and poetic force.Doors 18:30 ● On stage 19:00 ● 90 min
The relationship between music and dance is at the center of this dance performance in three chapters. Choreographer and dancer Frédéric Gies confronts their dance to the respective musical universes of three electronic music artists: Fiedel, Johanna Knutsson and Rivet, who composed original soundtracks for each part of this tryptic. The performance puts to the forefront the capacity of dance and music to come together and create new emotions, images, intensities and meaning. More than a mere dialogue between music and dance, the performance also looks at the dancing body as a site of resistance and at its capacity to confront control and oppression. Poetically evoking the relationship between dance and protest, the performance transforms anger and rage into magical spells against the many evils who recklessly attack life itself.
Frédéric Gies is a dancer and choreographer. Drawing from their training in ballet, their encounters with specific trends of contemporary dance, their dance floor experiences in techno clubs and raves and their studies of somatic practices, Frédéric Gies approaches form as possibilities rather than constraints. They present their work internationally in dance and music venues and in museums.
