A performance installation inspired by genetic
science
FLU-x is based on a
scenographical concept by the Swiss born visual artist and scenographer
Johanna Altherr, which resulted in the collaboration with
the well established, London-based choreographer Claire Russ
and three outstanding dance artists. The performing team includes
the award-winning, ex-Royal Ballet dancer and choreographer Matthew
Hawkins, the Turkesistan born dancer Yalckun Abdurehim
taught by Merce Cunningham and dancer in R. Nurejev’s "Romeo
& Juliet", and Swiss born dance-acrobat and choreographer
Andrea Herdeg.
FLU-x was premiered at the 291 Gallery, London, on Thursday
6th and Friday 7th September 2001.
Dancers created an environment, reminiscent of physiological structure,
through their movement and interaction with elasticated materials.
Enhanced through light, sound and video projections, the audience
experienced itself as part of this organism and its thrilling transformation
of space.
