altered natives’ Say Yes to Another Excess—TWERK

François Chaignaud & Cecilia Bengolea (Paris)

In autumn they showed the guest performance «(M)IMOSA» at the Gessnerallee. In «Keine Disziplin» the magnificent performers Cecilia Bengolea and François Chaignaud are present with two works. In the opening production «altered natives’ Say Yes to Another Excess — TWERK» they continue their study of popular dance forms and obviously dance to their own tune. Their research ranges from classical ballet to François Malkovsky’s independent dance to voguing – a style that emerged in the early 1960s in the gay subculture of Harlem and which was celebrated in «(M)IMOSA».
