Gisèle Vienne
Crowd

A journey beyond the edge of night, choreographed with hypnotic precision by one of the most acclaimed figures in contemporary dance. Drawing inspiration from the rave parties of 1990s East Berlin — held in abandoned warehouses and underground clubs — Gisèle Vienne creates a powerful reflection on freedom, collectivity and resistance. The performance unfolds as a hallucinatory ritual of light, shadow, sound and movement. Within this sensory density, a series of deeply relatable human portraits emerges: euphoric, intimate, wounded, defiant. Vienne shifts the focus from linear chronology to emotional time, expanding perception and slowing down the experience of the present. At its core, Crowd is a response to the pain and resilience of bodies shaped by systems of control. Through distortion, stillness and repetition, Vienne gives voice to these bodies, caught in the tension between oppression and liberation.

With the support of the Fondazione Nuovi Mecenati – the Franco-Italian foundation for contemporary creation.
