Fabula

Claire Croizé's work is often inspired by the physical, the intuitive in dance, emotion and gesture. Her love for this approach in music and dance has its origins in her very early years. The performance Fabula is an expression of Croizé's interest in the musicality of the body, body language and emotions and all this in relation to music.

Seven dancers and five musicians explore contradictory emotions in the face of the current state of the world. Anger and despair, joy and lust combine into a choreography hinged between rock concert and opera. The prog-rock and psychedelia influenced sound on Zwerm’s current album Great Expectations encounters texts by the Italian writer Cesare Pavese, who traces dialogues of characters from Greek mythology, from which the individual language of the dancers is inspired. Brussels-based choreographer Claire Croizé’s works are characterised by a complex interplay of dance, space and music. 

Fabula marks her first collaboration with Unusual Symptoms, the dance company of Theater Bremen, Belgian band Zwerm, as well as with drummer Karen Willems.

Presented by STUK.
