Beauty and longing in a doomed world

Fabula marks ECCE first collaboration with Unusual Symptoms, company-in-residence at Theater Bremen, Belgian band Zwerm, as well as with drummer Karen Willems. Seven dancers and five musicians explore contradictory emotions in the face of the current state of the world, in a polyphony of voices. Anger and despair, joy and lust combine into a choreography of powerful sound and imagery, hinged between rock concert and opera. The prog-rock and psychedelia influenced sound on Zwerm’s current album Great Expectations encounters figures from Greek mythology and Italian writer Cesare Pavese’s texts that Claire Croizé contrasts with the dancers’ individual movement languages.
