Boasting a rich background in philosophy, music, and puppeteering that is often incorporated into her work, Gis?le Vienne has been known to investigate a serial killer's crimes through dance and juxtaposed athletes in the woods and phantoms on an ice skating rink. UK 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.
