Rendez-vous
RENDEZ-VOUS
Premiere on November 1st, 2022 at Tanzhaus Zürich / all tour dates
Welcome, Bienvenue, Willkommen... A young dancer dreaming of a life as a prima ballerina. A spoken word performer who is severely visually impaired from birth. A retired actress not willing to retire yet. For Rendez-vous, choreographer Eugénie Rebetez invites five different stage performers to gather around her piano. Based on Rebetez' songs, they search for ways in which two bodies can coexist, listen, touch, support or carry each other without losing themselves. Oscillating between spectacle and poetry, Rebetez creates an intimate cabaret that harnesses the magic of the moment and draws its power from gentleness.
