What sound does falling produce, what sound is getting up? What velocity does buzzing have, and what momentum do we find in singing? How can we touch each other, physically and acoustically? Together with three dancers and two sound designers, Daniela Georgieva’s Fluscia starts a sensual exploration of the rapport between the performers and their relation to the audience: “An impressive dance piece” (Der Standard), with the interplay of the dancers’ voices with electro-acoustic compositions at its centre.
Fluscia as a piece continues Daniela Georgieva’s earlier piece 270206, which premiered at Kunsthalle Düsseldorf in 2022, in collaboration with her colleague Hugo le Brigand: In Fluscia, they both expand their examination and experiences with forms of physical intimacy and distance with an acoustic dimension. They explore which contact and relations are possible between different bodies – movement bodies, acoustic bodies, affective bodies. Out of this emerge new bodies and new constellations wherein the interplay of the dancers’ embodied voices with electronic sounds form Fluscia’s core.
“In Fluscia, dance’s articulation in interrelation with music pushes to the fore. (…) As a neologism, the title Fluscia is reminiscent of both the art movement Fluxus as well as the fascias, connective tissue within the body. In separate scenes, the dancers practice a Dadaistic shattering of language; two performances by Tanja Fuchs as a singer thwarts the solemnity as a component of the communal insurrection against the impending crash. (…) This results in an impressive dance piece.” (Helmut Ploebst: Der Standard)
