Penumbral Dances
Penumbral dances is a dance performance by Frédéric Gies, for one spectator at a time. It was created in December 2020 at Frank Galleri, during the first winter of the COVID 19 pandemic, under the title Penumbral dances – public service. It was created as a replacement for Unclouded dances, another one-to-one performance, which couldn’t take place for safety reasons at that time, as it would have meant that Frédéric would have met more 40 people in the same week, in a small confined space. Instead of cancelling completely the event, which would have been inconceivable for Frédéric as they surely don’t believe that dance is non-essential, they created this dance, which took place outdoor, at the entrance of the gallery.
This December, Frédéric proposes you again this dance, indoor this time. This dance will be crafted on the spot, especially for you, like a haute-couture dance, and will accompany you, we hope, through the beginning of this winter.
