The stage, small, a square of five by five meters, all in aluminum, is reminiscent of a reflecting wave.
The decor is sober, if not non-existent. No pretense, the main thing is elsewhere, in the way of staging and moving the subject. At the beginning, Anna Huber enters wearing felt slippers. She slides on the floor, looks at herself in a mirror and begins a gesture that will never stop.
From her opus, Anna Huber likes to say that space, light, movement, music are inseparable.
"The multiple ways of being and contradictions of humans are presented from different points of view. Whether in extreme zones, in empty spaces or in opposite situations, I can find inspiration endlessly The body is both instrument and subject of research. Open questions and paradoxes represent the motivation of my work.

Combining dance and the visual arts, Anna Huber has produced twenty-five creations since 1993: solos, group pieces,  interdisciplinary projects and sitespecific works. She has received many  awards, notably the Prix de Chorégraphie et Danse Suisse in 2010, the  prestigious Hans-Reinhard Ring in 2002 and the award of the Mary Wigman  Society.

Unsichtbarst, or exposing oneself to become invisible. On a reflective square, surrounded by the public, Huber sways and links  extremes. Both real and an artefact, it emerges straight from the  imagination. She plays on the visibility of disappearance and we can’t  take our eyes off her. The performance was presented at Grand Studio on 16 and 17 April 2019.
