Body Talk – Dancehouse

Overview

Marco Delgado and Nadine Fuchs are two extremely svelte performers whose brand of erotic dance-comedy is moist with ambiguity. Watching footage of their past work it’s clear they're out to mock the seriousness of their own artform, recognising that humour’s often the first emotion sacrificed on the altar of contemporary dance.

At the same time their shows never appear like simple pisstakes of high art — it’s the tension between their obvious talent and their playful approach that’s characterised Delgado Fuchs’ work in the past. Arriving from their native Europe (where Delgado worked as a stripper in Brussels while training as a dancer), they’re hosted in Melbourne by Australia’s leading experimental dance venue, Dancehouse.
