They plunge over balustrades, jump from meter-high scaffoldings, carry each other on one hand. Yet their breakneck acrobatic feats are no ends in themselves: “We live in a complex society, and our dance must reflect this,” says choreographer André Gingras. In The Autopsy Project, six performers dissect their theme: the attraction of knowledge, power and technology. Their muscles bulge when they stagger and balance on rigid iron bars, blindfolded.

André Gingras began his career in the Netherlands in 1999 as an explorer of breakdance, martial arts and medically diagnosed symptoms. He worked in the artistic team of Robert Wilson and did choreographies for director Peter Stein and the Nederlands Dans Theater I.
