Alexandra Bachzetsis

RUSH(ES)

In this performative solo, Alexandra Bachzetsis questions how our bodies reflect, construct and transform our identities. Through intense, instinctive physical dance, she explores the blurred zones between self and other, human and non-human, reality and fiction. She blends movement, sound and images, blurring the boundaries between performance and documentation, between intimacy and the outside eye. In a pure, immersive space, RUSH(ES) invites the audience to enjoy a powerful sensory experience, in which the body becomes a tool for transformation, resistance, and questioning what it means to "be oneself" today.
