Clownesque solo dance performance · 2023

A solo work where pedestrian gestures, clowning, and club dancing unravel into a contagious dance language.

In this work, Andrási skillfully crafts pedestrian gestures that, informed by the essence of the clown, unravel into a dance language that sustains our attention. Whether it be changing clothes, removing a backpack or picking up a watering can, we watch their evident consciousness of each action take place. When a moment of exhilarated club dancing arrives, the performer sophistically abstracts their own groove that is contagious.
