In fiction in action choreographer and performer Nada Gambier looks for a physical language in which the abstract form carries a potential for meaning. Together with performer Norberto Llopis Segarra, composer Christophe Albertijn and lighting designer Marc Dewit, Nada constructs an indeterminate fiction out of a relationship between the physical body, concrete space and imaginary places.

The spectator is invited on a journey where potential narratives hover in the air, appearing out of an unstable reality merging with the joy and chaos of two bodies left in a landscape of nothingness. Fiction in action is an attempt to share the pleasure in the ungraspable once we let go of our need to rationally decipher what we perceive and accept the not-knowing.

Nada Gambier is a Finnish-born artist who works in the field of performance, theater, dance and video with presentations both on stage as well as in other locations. She has studied dance at The Place in London and at P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels.
