GESICHT / FACE

Short Dance Performance, 20'

2019

​

Gesicht / Face is a duo dance performance by Marie Alexis and Lyn Bentschik, based on a poem written by Rebecca Gisler. 

​

The two bodies try to meet in the impossible positions described in the poem - while constantly speeding up so the impossible meeting moves from a sensitive encounter to a brutal (but still playful) crash.
