Three Ways of Averting the Evil Eye

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.
