Edelweiss, a danced rebus
Edelweiss is a piece for those who find pleasure in reading.
Edelweiss is a tribute to fetichism: a performance that treats all of its components as loved art pieces.
Edelweiss plays with intelligibility: a danced rebus where signs and references abound, a caring piece where all the elements have been discussed and chosen and loved.
Edelweiss is inspired by Klimt and Émilie Flöge, by sport, by the aquariums of the 19th century, by babies, by the 70’, by the futur and by the artist Fontana.
