Day 3_Aerowaves Dance Festival Luxembourg
Cassiel Gaube « Soirée d'études » & Eva Recacha “Because I can”
neimënster TROIS C-LWhen and where
Join us for a captivating evening of dance at the AeroWaves Dance Festival Luxembourg's third night, featuring two remarkable performances that promise to push the boundaries of creativity and self-expression!
Eva Recacha
Because I can
“Because I Can” is a delicate dance solo made by Eva Recacha in collaboration with performer Lauren Potter and sound artist Alberto Ruiz Soler, visiting notions of power, memory and growing old.
The piece is a poetic stream of consciousness where memories flow in and out of our grasp, leaving a delicate scent of nostalgia and loss. The audience witnesses the performer revisit various memories, her presence becoming an ode to a quiet yet liberating rebelliousness that turns intimacy into a tower of power.
Biography
Eva Recacha is a Spanish/British independent female choreographer living and working in London. Her choreographic work revolves around notions of power dynamics and the politics of the gaze, often generating a tangible sense of awareness and scrutiny between the performers and the spectators. She uses movement and text in her choreographic fabric, and the relationship between these two layers, both hierarchically and aesthetically, is one of the key aspects of her work.
Recacha initiated her choreographic journey focused on themes of death and ritual, belonging and belief. Since becoming a mother, she has also embraced the themes of misogyny and ageing in relation to power and agency.
She has been commissioned to make work for the stage by Sadler’s Wells, The Place, South EastDance, EDge, and LCDS, as well as site-specific work by DanceXchange, Bloomberg SPACE, Opera Estate Festival Veneto, Fundació LaCaixa and Festival Trayectos. She was twice Place Prize Finalist for Begin to Begin: A Piece about Dead Ends and The Wishing Well, winning the public prize on three occasions. She was also a recipient of the Marion North Mentoring Award, subsequently being mentored by Rui Horta.
Eva has been an associate artist at the Place and a Sadler’s Wells Summer University Artist. Currently, she is a lecturer at LCDS and TL in London, where she teaches choreography and chorological studies.

Cassiel Gaube
Soirée d'études
“Soirée d’études” explores the rich vocabulary of House dance in an ever-evolving and expanding series of studies. In this piece, Cassiel Gaube expands the research set out in his solo “Farmer Train Swirl – Étude”. An étude, in the musical sense of the word, is a composition designed to explore the possibilities of a particular technique and to experiment with it, comparable to the practise of House dance. Drawing from recognised moves, the dancer looks for variations of these steps and for inventive ways of articulating them. This common knowledge allows people to read each other’s movements. Together with dancers experienced in Street dance, Gaube seeks to reveal the literacy that this practice requires and conveys.
Biography
Born in 1994 (Belgium), he lives and works in Brussels and Paris.
Cassiel Gaube’s work is situated at the intersection of multiple kinaesthetic and choreographic practices. His artistic approach stems from a desire to experiment sensitively with the forms and methods specific to each of them and to bring into dialog these various approaches to movement.
Cassiel is a graduate of the Performing Arts Research and Training Studios (P.A.R.T.S.), Brussels, and studied at the Juste Debout School, Paris.
