OnlyHuman | APAP showcase | Work-in-proress

o Malcolm Betts

Christine Bonansea's OnlyHuman is a solo inspired by Nietzsche's aphoristic volume Human, All Too Human. The performer/choreographer is investigating the stark contradiction between our races capacity for freedom and beauty against its most destructive and illogical behaviors. Created in collaboration with visual artists and conceived as a departure point for a future series, this highly kinetic and virtuosic dance is a meditation on bodily images and stereotypes of self in the context of the environment  geography, emotions, social structure.

Christine Bonansea is a New York-based dancer and choreographer with over 15 years of international experience in conceiving, directing/choreographing and performing. She creates performances, installations, and films. She is the Artistic Director of Christine Bonansea Company, founded in  2010. Defined by expressive, virtuosic, improvisation-driven movement, her work inhabits an experimental, interdisciplinary, and collaborative environment in which other media  theater, video, visual art and design, spoken word, and music play an important and integral part in her works. Having studied Modern Literature at Paris' La Sorbonne, she cites literature and philosophy as major influences.
