TOPEEP SECRET BOX is an exclusive experience in an unusual setting—an immersive, whimsical choreographic UFO inspired by the principle of the peep show. You can see without being seen or sometimes while being seen. Each glance calls into question the status of reality, caught in a constant movement between proximity and distance. A fascination orchestrated as much for the hidden as for the unveiled.
With this new group piece, we continue our work of variation around the body, questioning the intimacy in the collective experience with our trademark “physical” and offbeat approach. Welcome aboard! “The hidden is the other side of a presence. The power of absence, if we attempt to describe it, brings us back to the power held, unequally, by certain real objects: they designate, behind them, a magical space; they are the index of something they are not.” Le voile de Poppée de Jean Starobinski

Artists
Delgado-Fuchs
Delgado Fuchs is a Swiss collective formed in 2002 by choreographers and dancers Nadine Fuchs and Marco Delgado. Situated outside the usual categorizations, the creations of the duo are half serious and half trivial, playing on ambiguity with a distinct and fundamental taste for the transformation and the transgressions more broadly. They probe with casualness and an apparent naivety various modalities around the body: its hyper-awareness, territory populated with humor and its troubled plasticity.
Sidelong glances, plural perspectives, collaborations with artists from different disciplines and uninhibited exploration of forms lead the two artists to move beyond the borders between spectacle, performance, installation and exhibition. They have created more than 20 pieces showing in theatres, festivals, museums, art centers from all around the world : le Centquatre (FR), Aichi Triennale Nagoya (JP), Festival de la Bâtie Genève (CH), ImPulsTanz Vienne (AU),
Scène nationale La Filature Mulhouse (FR), Centre culturel Suisse Paris (FR), Scène nationale Le Merlan Marseille (FR), Arsenic Lausanne (CH), BIAN Montréal (CA), Collection Lambert Avignon (FR), Maison de la Danse Lyon (FR), Dance House Melbourne (AU), Zodiak Helsinki (FI), Festival Noorderzoon (NL), Moussonturm (DE), Sundace Film festival Park City (USA), …
