Bienvenue
For her third show, Eugénie Rebetez transforms herself into a cleaning lady, the antithesis of the divas whose finery she borrowed before. “This time,” she explains, “the sequins were properly hoovered to leave room for what remains when the lights are switched off (...). Cleaning is touching and taking care of something else, and, for some people, to cleanis to earn a living.” Here, the body and the setting are one, exterior surroundings merge with inside space. From her body-home, her shell, the dancer creates sensory and musical links with the outside. Alternating intensity and levity, poetry and laughter, the everyday and the surreal, Eugénie Rebetez works with director Martin Zimmermann to create a comic household where chaos and order reign. After Gina and Encore, the performer revamps her stagecraft in a solo where the self can become someone else.

Rebetez, Eugénie
Eugénie Rebetez (*1984) grew up in the swiss countryside. She first studied dance and choreography in the class of dance studies at the Lycée Martin V in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, then at the ArtEZ Institute of Arts in Arnhem, Holland. Following her studies, she worked notably with the Venezuelan choreographer David Zambrano, and also with the Swiss director Martin Zimmermann. She has created and performed three solo shows, Gina (2010), Encore (2013) and Bienvenue (2017) as well as several performances for art galleries and museums. Her work has been presented throughout Switzerland, as well as elsewhere in Europe. The body is at the heart of her artistic approach, expressing itself completely while revealing the complexity and ambivalence of being oneself. Eugénie Rebetez lives in Zurich. She is currently Artist in Residence at Théâtre La Grange de Dorigny - UNIL Lausanne where she will be creating her new piece in Automn 2019.
"Eugénie Rebetez' body is a theatre. It has its moods, its asides, its outbursts. It is tempted a hundred times to be different, but takes pride in returning to itself: voluptuous, overflowing, untamed." Le Temps
