ISSHH (क) explores the links between sound and image; cinema and stage. It’s a work of choreographic research questioning the idea of the group, and the requirements to create a “common” body.
ISSHH (क) draws upon Devdas, a novel recounting the ill-fated love story of Devdas, written by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, which has been widely translated and adapted for cinema.
On an empty stage with the dancers of the Attakkalari Dance Company (Bangalore, IN), Nicole Seiler delves into a century of acoustic perceptions, taking us on a choreographic-cinematic voyage that questions the infinite possibilities of our imagination.

Nicole Seiler
Nicole Seiler studied dance and theater at the Scuola Teatro Dimitri in Verscio (CH), the Vlaamse Dansacademie in Brugges (BE) and at Rudra Béjart in Lausanne (CH). She created her own company in 2002. Her research into multi-media which marries dance and video, gives rise to multifaceted dance performances, videos and choreographic installations. She received the cultural prize for dance from the Foundation Vaudoise for Culture in 2009.
