RUSH(ES) is a compelling new solo performance by renowned Greek-Swiss visual artist and choreographer Alexandra Bachzetsis. Conceived as an introspective journey, RUSH(ES) confronts behavioural taboos and interrogates the commodification of desire — constructed and deconstructed through the moving body.
RUSH(ES) is characterised by rapid transformations that push the body to its limits, reflecting pleasure, joy, solitude and anxiety through the intense physicality of the performer. In the process of corporeal metamorphosis, Bachzetsis navigates her body so that it ceases to be human and morphs into something else – an animal, an object, a tool.
In this solo performance, the audience is invited to perceive, examine and experience these physical transformations as a reflection of the collective consciousness. RUSH(ES) thus aims to evoke intuitive, immediate responses to music, space, text and the actions of the body, taking both performer and audience into a heightened state of awareness and transformation.
Blending autofiction and auto–documentation, the piece invites both performer and audience into a heightened state of awareness and transformation.
