EMERGENCY HIDEOUT (in the event of sensory overload)
If you feel you need a time out of the hustle and bustle of your life;
if the scent of a perfumed candle forbid you to concentrate on what you do;
or if your clothes seem to weight like a ton;
you might be in the need of an emergency hideout!
I recommend you to play the soundtrack below in order to embark with me on a treasure hunt. We will build a comfy space that will allow you to unpack your sensations and hopefully access your ultimate safe space: your imagination.
You don’t need any specific preparation as it is an emergency after all!
To make things a little easier, you have the option to communicate with me using a speaker or any hands-free device of your choice.
IMPORTANT: note that you don’t need to be on the verge of an existential crisis. This performance can be appreciated any time you feel like it.
After reemerging from your hideout, if you'd like to share your impressions or showcase any pictures of your special place, please don't hesitate to leave a comment in the section provided below. Your contributions are welcome!
Alternatively, you can send an email to greta.gauhe@yahoo.de (notify us in your email if you would prefer your answer to stay between us!)
According to my mum, I was born a performer! So she was not very surprised when after 12 years running from one theatre to another in France, Canada and Netherlands as an actor, I started a new path as a dancer. I completed a Master of Arts in Contemporary Dance at the London Contemporary Dance School which initiated a research on my own practice. I like to create pieces that showcase my colourful imaginary world, I like the idea of bending the reality and blurring the limits between the different forms of art. When I’m not on stage, I collect plants (my home is now a small jungle) and I do ceramics and embroidery! You may think of me as a serial plant lover with his hands in the clay, his head in the spotlights and his heart as an explosion of polychromatic universes!
