Alexandra Bachzetsis – NOTEBOOK

Alexandra Bachzetsis’ new solo project is a profound and fun exploration of the performer’s own biography as a dancer, choreographer and artist. With Lies Vanborm, Safiya Sinclair, Lola& Lola, Michel Auder, Melissa Biondo, Loren Tschannen, Delgado Fuchs Family, Antoine Weil, Owen Ridley-DeMonick, Dorota Sajewska and Alban Schelbert, she developed a performative installation in which encounters with others can be found again in the form of material and immaterial traces, voices, remains. A dance dialogue with Antoine Weil is (re)performed live and the piece is accompanied by live sound composed by Alban Schelbert.

Themes of desire, sexuality, excess, innocence, pain and transience are negotiated in the form of performative notes, manifested in the plurality of voices, images, bodies and objects. The notebook as an indispensable companion of the artistic process, as a private archive of creative work and as a storehouse of ideas for imagined future projects reflects Bachzetsi’s artistic affinity for the fragmentary, sketchy, unfinished in creative and performative thought processes. Here the body becomes the bodily archive of other bodies, the most subversive form of presentation of experience.
