100% Polyester (Objet Dansant A Definir No 36)

Christian Rizzo's initial concept for 100% Polyester (Objet dansant a definir no 36 came from the wish to present a performance where the physical body is missing. Siamese-twin dresses, attached at the wrists, are suspended above a path of small electric fans. As the electronic music rises, the dresses begin to gently float, at first almost imperceptibly, and then in an ethereal waltz around the performance space. With lighting designed by Caty Olive that hypnotically plays between illumination and shadow. 100% Polyester is an intriguing duet for air and fabric. Dance Umbrella 2005
