Quest for catharsis
Detachment
Pausing
Loudspeaker duet
GIMME A BREAK!!! is a quest for catharsis. Borrowing from the vocabulary of rave music, meditative practices and headbanging, Baptiste Cazaux continues his research into emotional peace and detachment, which he sees as a survival strategy in the face of capitalism. In a duet with loudspeakers, the choreographer composes a deregulated space-time, full of complexities and contradictions, in search of a vital and necessary impulse.
After studying classical dance in Biarritz, Baptiste Cazaux joined the Junior Ballet Geneva in 2015 under the direction of Sean Wood and Patrice Delay. Within the company, he performed in productions by Dubois, Barak Marshall, Roy Assaf, Sharon Eyal and Thomas Hauert.
Currently a professional dancer and choreographer, he works in Switzerland and Belgium with József Trefeli, Perrine Valli, Jan Martens and Ayelen Parolin. Since the 2020/2021 season he has been an associate artist at L’Abri (Geneva, CH) and the Théâtre Sévelin 36, and is supported by the Réseau Grand Luxe. In July 2022 he took part in the ATLAS programme of the Impulstanz festival thanks to the support of Pro Helvetia. His show GIMME A BREAK !!! was created during the 2022/2023 season where he took part in the Artistes en expérimentation programme at the CND - Centre National de la Danse in Lyon. Baptiste Cazaux also performs as a DJ under the alias Glaire Waldork.
The auditorium, foyer and theatre bar at Schlachthaus Theatre are wheelchair accessible. There is a wheelchair-accessible toilet on the ground floor.
The Schlachthaus Theater auditorium is equipped with a hearing aid system that transmits the signal to pocket receivers. You can choose between induction loops or single-ear receivers. The front row of seats is less than 5 meters from the stage.
If you would like to use the hearing aid system, please register in advance at info@schlachthaus.ch so that the pocket receiver can be prepared for you. The pocket receivers can be picked up and returned at the box office.
