324 mountains between us
Set design
2023,
Various theatres, GRIP & Europalia Georgia
In 324 mountains between us, Belgian choreographer and dancer Femke Gyselinck's danced vocabulary and Georgian musician Anushka Chkheidze's electronic compositions can sometimes bridge the distance between them but sometimes also increase that same distance.
On stage, long sheets of rough hessidian fabric hand- painted in gold are hung on an angle and designate an asymmetric area. On its top the fabric resembles, unintended yet naturally, the silhouette of mountains. Tube lamps float in front of and lie on the floor behind the fabric, sometimes giving white lines of light, sometimes disappearing completely or rapidly flickering with the beats, creating a club atmosphere.
