The mountain picture near the entrance yet not quite central, like a hesitant spectator of the exhibition: that’s where the dances will settle themselves.

“Have you ever been danced before?” Alix asks the images.

After having been brought into parallel existence over the last weeks, exposed, transformed by the hands of painters, talked about by onlookers, the images now mutated into emanations scintillating in artificial lights.

Alix will slide into these vapours, this partially veiled intimacy, dedicating herself and her dances to channel the aired thoughts, impressions (waiting to be danced), to track the almost imperceptible interplay of the most minor details.
That is what this dance can do: shape something without it being precise, in a constant stream that relates the images to their context, lending them shapes and perfumes.

Viennese choreographer and dancer Alix Eynaudi performs a dance piece in response to Olaf Nicolai’s temporary installation.
Alix Eynaudi was trained as a ballet dancer at the Opéra national de Paris, and studied contemporary dance at PARTS in Brussels. In 1996, Alix joined Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker's company Rosas where she worked for seven years.

Alix Eynaudi has toured with her own works since 2005: „Crystalll“ (2005), in collaboration with Alice Chauchat, „Supernaturel“ (2007), „The Visitants and Long Long Short Long Short“ (2009), both projects in collaboration with Agata Maszkiewicz, „Exit“ (2011) in collaboration with Kris Verdonck, Monique (2012), Edelweiss (2015) and Chesterfield (2017). In parallel, Eynaudi takes part in projects as a dancer and performer with a.e. the collective Superamas, Kris Verdonck, Anne Juren, Boris Charmatz and Jennifer Lacey. She regularly teaches workshops internationally.

Eynaudi will present the first session of Noa & Snow on November 10, 2018, at the Volkskundemuseum Wien, in collaboration with brut Wien and in the context of Wien Modern.
