A dance and physical theatre production with the scenographic construction at its conceptual heart. A piece for four international performers created by choreographer Marie Gourdain and dance and theatre maker Felix Baumann. The action takes place on an unstable platform, which may tip, shake or break in response to the movements of the protagonists. Through dance, humor and scenographic installation SEISMIC tells about a relationship of interdependence, in which each body is exposed to the mechanics of the space and the other bodies - a permanent transformation of circumstances, a power relation whose origins are blurred in the mix of events.

Marie Gourdain is a French choreographer, set designer, and visual artist who has mainly developed her artistic activities in Prague since 2010, while also working on projects across the rest of Europe. Her practice fuses visual arts and contemporary dance, drawing on graphic and sculptural composition combined with a detailed analysis of movement. The result is a complex choreographic expression that is visually focused and explores the manipulation of props and the use of stage constructions, while also allowing space for intuition, improvisation, and humour.

Felix Baumann lives in Berlin and works internationally as an artist with an interdisciplinary approach blending physical theatre, dance, circus, and visual art. Humour is his creative enigine – a tool for resilience and a way to examine contemporary issues, metaphors, and the absurdities of everyday life.
