Humanity will not solve its various boundary disputes and their respective perpetual expansionist tendencies – conflicts that often take place even on a personal level, but especially in political surroundings. Fabien Prioville confronts this topic in his new play, taking into perspective individual, collective and geographical boundaries – with the territorial space surrounding everybody as a site of cultural experience. The collective “we“ (“NOUS“) of the title does not last long; all three performers, among them Fabien Prioville himself, test the limits of their fellow dancers. When does trespassing turn into a threat? In conjunction with the atmospheric sound compositions of Frank Schulte and media artist Naoko Tanaka’s video images, drawn live at the computer, they tell a tale of sad beauty, about division and change: “... the trio succeeds in creating images of remarkable intensity.“ (NRZ)

Fabien Prioville completed his education at the Centre National de Danse Contemporaine (CNDC) in Angers. Among others, he danced with LaLaLa Human Steps and the Wuppertal Tanztheater of Pina Bausch before starting to develop his own choreographies in 2006. Today, he works as a freelance dancer and choreographer. Comissioned works brought him to New York’s Juilliard School, Japan and Australia. His solo “Jailbreak Mind“ received an invitation to the Tanzplattform Deutschland 2010 and is currently touring international festivals.
