Cie Gilles Jobin presents QUANTUM in India

Q U A N T U M
by Gilles Jobin (Geneva - CH) recipient of the Swiss Grand Award for Dance 2015
In the frame of the "Year of Swiss Innovation in India", the Embassy of Switzerland along with Pro Helvetia Swiss Art Council and swissnex India, invites the Swiss choreographer Gilles Jobin with QUANTUM.
Gilles Jobin and his dance company will perform in:

About QUANTUM
QUANTUM is an innovative dance performance by Gilles Jobin, choreographer of international acclaim and German visual artist Julius von Bismarck. Gilles Jobin developed this choreography after his residency at CERN - The European Organization for Nuclear Research, world's largest particle physics laboratory. It is based on the concept of kinetic movement in particle physics.
QUANTUM takes the quark as muse, fusing choreography and installation art into an ode to subatomic randomness. Six dancers vibrate, scatter, and whirl beneath a gyrating quartet of industrial lamps, programmed to respond to the slightest movement, while Carla Scaletti's soundscape from particle collision data provides the sonic ether.
QUANTUM is a stunning example of the kind of mutual inspiration that can happen when artists and scientists work alongside one another.
Workshops
Gilles Jobin will also lead choreographic workshops for dance professionals, students, scholars and/or scientists around the idea of "movement generators" developed during his CERN residency and the creation of QUANTUM.
Bangalore workshop at Attakalari on 26th and 27th of November
Delhi workshop Danceworx on 3rd and 4th of December
