FRIGHT – CÉLINE GILLAIN

An unprecedented hybrid performance by Céline Gillain 

Céline Gillain presents in iso amsterdam an unprecedented hybrid performance that combines comedy, storytelling and a live concert. FRIGHT explores ambivalent emotions towards self-expression and success through stage fright and other self-sabotaging behaviours. The work-in-progress questions the status of the artist in relation to the audience, imaging a safe space midway between speech and the dance floor.

Céline Gillain (1979, Liège) is a musician and performance artist living and working in Brussels. She’s interested in how performance can be used as an experimental tool to overcome self-limiting instincts. Her work is a fusion of corrupted pop songs, feminist sci-fi, storytelling and dark humour  It questions the ways in which narratives are told in the mainstream, and how our sense of fiction and auto-fiction can be perpetually challenged.
