Switzerland

Comeback

In her new solo piece *Comeback*, the extraordinary Swiss dancer and versatile comedian Eugénie Rebetez skilfully oscillates between poetry and comedy, sensitivity and rock ’n’ roll. On the one hand, she creates a character who is exuberant and full of life; on the other, she repeatedly returns to her true self. ‘Comeback’ is a play on ambivalence: the dancer wants it all, yet cannot bear the sheer abundance; she clings to her values, only to suddenly let them go. She longs for the carefree spirit of her youth, yet takes on ever more responsibility. It is a piece in which she moves forward, searching and experimenting – a score of stories told through song and dance, inspired by her own life. ‘Comeback’ is a dazzling one-woman show that strikes both quiet and strident notes, and takes a sharp, witty look at the hope inherent in every return.
