MEDIATHEK

NADINE FUCHS was born in Bern, Switzerland. She studied classical and contemporary dance at Anne Woolliams School and the SBBS (Schweizerische Ballettberufsschule) in Zurich and completed her training at the Rudra Bejart Atelier in Lausanne. Of Spanish origin, MARCO DELGADO spent his childhood in a popular Brussels neighborhood and trains in various disciplines: football, full contact, drawing, fine arts and mechanics. He started his career as a dancer at the age of twenty at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels and worked at the same time in a striptease club. Their careers as performers led them to each other and their consequent decision to found the Collective DELGADO FUCHS in 2002. Thus began a series of personal creations, the remit is broad, diverse in its choice of tools (photography, video, dance) and influences (fashion, visual arts). They produce performances and installations which consequently push the audience to rethink body and movement outside of a strictly dance context. On the fringe of the usual half serious - half trivial labels, their work thrives on ambiguity. By constantly reformulating its theme, by varying the perspectives, Delgado Fuchs reveals through action the versatile nature of identity and how it is subject to multiple ways of being. They form the pivot of the Collective, on which diverse collaborations are added, depending on each project : LE TOUR D’BEBEL (2002) and ET REBELOTE... (2004) are performances created in collaboration with the pianist Malcolm Braff. SEXUAL HEALING (2004), CHINA CONNECTION (2005) and RENCONTRE ARRANGEE (2005), performances and installations, are created with the visual artist and sound creator Zimoun. LONG SKY-BLUE WOOLLEN COAT WORN WITH A LARGE ROLL-NECK JUMPER, PEACH LEATHER TROUSERS AND RED NUBUCK POINTED HIGH-HEEL SHOES (2007), created at the théâtre de L’L in Brussells and presented at the Festival d’Avignon in 2008, meets with success and goes on tour in twenty countries. LET’S GET PHYSICAL (2012) has, in particular, been presented at the Centquatre in Paris during the first edition of «Séquence Danse». HORSETAIL KNICKERBELT is created in 2013. The collective Delgado Fuchs benefits from a subsidy convention of the Etat de Vaud during the seasons 2014-2016. (Quelle: http://www.delgadofuchs.com/delgado_fuchs.php) egd
