Crowd, one of the most explosive shows by Gisèle Vienne, is the representation of a ritual: that of the party, a collective practice pertaining to all eras and societies. In the hallucinatory simultaneity of the lights, shadows, sounds and moving bodies of a rave party, the artist outlines a series of fascinating and deeply human portraits, focusing on the emotional experience—rather than the actual experience—of time. Gisèle Vienne returns to FOG with Etude 6, a performance that acts as a sort of negative of Crowd, sharing the experience of two characters marked by a lack and a vital need for the crowd. All of Gisèle Vienne’s works are political, not only through their artistic and philosophical stakes but also through formal research, questioning culturally constructed perceptions and the possible shifts in those perceptions. This work offers a direct and visceral response to immediate and profound pain—the kind of pain experienced by bodies constrained and restricted by political systems of domination, in which something that deeply concerns us emerges.

Gisèle Vienne is a French-Austrian artist, choreographer and director. After graduating in Philosophy, she studied at the puppet school Ecole Supérieure Nationale des Arts de la Marionnette. Over the past two decades, her works have toured Europe and have been regularly presented in Asia and America, including the shows I Apologize (2004), Kindertotenlieder (2007), Jerk (2008), This is how you will disappear (2010), LAST SPRING: A Prequel (2011), The Ventriloquists Convention (2015) in partnership with the Puppentheater Halle and Crowd (2017). In 2020, she and Etienne Bideau-Rey created a fourth version of Showroomdummies at the Rohm Theater Kyoto, a work that originally premiered in 2001. In 2021, she made the film Jerk and created L’Etang, based on Robert Walser’s short story Der Teich. She has exhibited her photographs and installations in major museums, including the Whitney Museum in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Her work has led to several publications, while the original music from her performances is featured on several albums.
