This Is How You Will Disappear - T018876486Created in 2010 for the Festival d'Avignon, This is how you will disappear is a giant installation as well as a dance piece. It explores the shifting depths of a forest with a sinister secret. In this ominous, foggy setting, three figures - a young athlete, her coach and a rock star - come together in an epic tableau that evokes the underlying battle between society and the self. This striking theatrical experience is set in an immense forest – a large scale, naturalistic installation. Curious weather events soon rip through the landscape, disrupting space, perception and sensation and pitting the beauty of order against that of chaos. This contrast resonates with the three characters. The coach represents authority, upholding an orderly structure. The young gymnast typifies the beauty of culturally defined perfection. The rock star personifies the allure of anarchy. This is how you will disappear is an epic performance that probes to startling effect the contradictory cultural ideals and standards of beauty at work in today's world. | |

Crowd - T0269510982UK Premiere. Gisele Vienne's background covers music, philosophy and puppeteering, while her dance work has seen her explore the crimes of a serial killer, place athletes in a forest and ghosts on an ice rink. Opening Dance Umbrella 2019, Vienne expertly harnesses the undulating, liquid physicality of the club scene as she sets 15 mud-splattered individuals in the midst of a rave. With a playlist put together by regular collaborator, composer Peter Rehberg and dramaturgy from writer Dennis Cooper, Vienne delves into the collective euphoria of a committed party crowd in her first work to be performed at Sadler's Wells.Sound Adrien Michel.
