Alias Compagnie

alias-cie.com

Alias Compagnie, based in Geneva under the direction of Guilherme Botelho, is a contemporary dance company. Its starting point is the quest for unexplored points of view, things hidden and unusual. This is what Alias strives for, by forgoing appearances and habits and discovering a reality other than the mechanical reassurance of our everyday perceptions.

Premiere

Vertigo

A reflection placed between two dancers dancing symmetrically. The public eye catches a glimpse of what was to be obscure. Moving around the installation, the spectator can watch everything. He faces someone, but sees its back. The identical is not the same, two bodies look alike differently.

Premiere

Converse-Worlds

Alias’ latest creation presents bodies that look as troubling on stage as would those of unknown animals in a dark forest. Although the bodies are hidden from view, the spectator can discern fragments of dances and follow the traces of energy left by the movements.
