How does falling sound, or getting up? What’s the speed of a hum, and what momentum is inherent to song? How can we touch each other physically and acoustically? Questions like these form the basis of Daniela Georgieva’s most recent piece Fluscia that explores relationships among dancers and between them and the audience in a sensual manner. Fluscia logically continues the exploration of forms of physical closeness and distance Georgiava started in her 2022 collaboration with her colleague Hugo Le Brigand, 270206. This time, the two artists add an acoustic dimension to their experience. They investigate the types of contact and relation that can possibly emerge between different bodies: bodies of movement, acoustic bodies, affective bodies. The idea is that these kinetic, haptic, acoustic relationships in turn produce new bodies and new constellations. The interplay of dancers’ body voices with electro-acoustic compositions is at the very centre of Fluscia.
