Fiction Fiction

On the occasion of the closing of 2019, Fiction Fiction unfolds as a haunted anticipation—out of sync yet charged with precedent. A photograph of a barricade, the sound of an aura, ultra wet. A poetic juxtaposition, a confluence of dances, movements, almost-thoughts, and gestures drawn from BRUNO (2021) and Death by Landscape (2024), two previous works by Alix Eynaudi, performed together with Hugo Le Brigand.

Here, choreography is an act of reconfiguration—an imprint reanimated, a tender negotiation of presence. Movements drift through a present marbled with memory, where past gestures are not simply repeated but unevenly altered, reassembled, rethought. Words press beneath the skin of dance, an endless reinterpretation, a porous exchange between what was and what remains, between fiction and fiction.

The performance will be introduced by Raimundas Malašauskas on the occasion of the book launch of Suzon: Selected Writings by Raimundas Malašauskas, in which Alix Eynaudi makes an appearance. The book is available here.

ALIX EYNAUDI dances, works, and writes between craft and chaos, embracing a (mostly) joyful mess. She never works alone; every event, research, or invitation is an alibi to spend time with accomplices—a mesh of friendships shimmering under the skin, a stirring of wonder-filled support. She specializes in choreographic hanging-out sessions. Her most recent works include Death by Landscape, a concert (2024), Institute of Rest(s) (2023), and BRUNO (2021). Her work has been presented at: MACRO, Rome; Tanzquartier, Vienna; Kaaitheater, Brussels; far° festival, Nyon; Xing, Bologna; Biennale di Venezia, Venice; Contemporary Art Centre, Vilnius; brut, Vienna; Volkskundemuseum, Vienna; Wiener Festwochen, Vienna. She lives in Vienna.

HUGO LE BRIGAND delves into dance as a medium for creative encounters and versatile collaborations. He has worked with a diverse range of artists, including Doris Uhlich, Alix Eynaudi, Sebastiano Sing, Daniela Georgieva, Ulduz Ahmadzadeh, and Ari Benjamin Meyers, among others. He is based in Vienna.
