Frédéric Gies & Maison de fous
4.12 2026 – 11.4 2027
Malmö
Opens in 357 days
Frédéric Gies is a French choreographer and dancer based in Malmö who has been active in the European performance scene for the past three decades. Their practice draws from classical ballet, contemporary dance history and rave culture, blending gestures seemingly foreign to one another.
“Maison de fous” departs from the kinship between the eponymous 1920 piece by Les Ballets Suédois and Gies’ choreographic work. Including works from Moderna Museet’s collection, the exhibition embraces le fou to create an expressionistic universe, characterized by a soft subversiveness and tender ecstasy.
Throughout the exhibition period, the Turbine Hall will be transformed into a rehearsal space and a stage for continuous activation by Gies as well as local and international dancers.
Curators: Albin Hillervik and Jari Malta
The exhibition is shown in the Turbine Hall.
