CYP17

Cyp17 - 02

CYP17 is Gingras' very first stage work. CYP17 is a dance and video performance that presents the freakshow of the future, asking what our lives will be like after gene manipulation and Dolly the cloned sheep. CYP17 is created by Gingras and video artist Fabio Iaquone. It premiered in the CaDance festival 2000 in the Netherlands and made a large impact internationally. An extensive tour throughout the Netherlands was followed by many invitations from festivals and theatres in Europe, India and North America, including renowned festivals as the Rencontres Chorégraphiques de Seine-Saint Denis (Bagnolet), Romaeuropa Festival, Munich Dance 2002 and the Biennale of Venice 2003. Gingras was rewarded for CYP17 with the Encouragement Prize 2001 by the Amsterdam Art Fund.
