The Hellenic Centre presents the UK première of RUSH(ES), a compelling new solo performance by renowned Greek-Swiss visual artist and choreographer Alexandra Bachzetsis. Conceived as an introspective journey, RUSH(ES) confronts behavioural taboos and interrogates the commodification of desire — constructed and deconstructed through the moving body.

The piece is characterised by rapid transformations that push the body to its limits, reflecting pleasure, joy, solitude and anxiety through the intense physicality of the performer. In the process of corporeal metamorphosis, Bachzetsis navigates her body so that it ceases to be human and morphs into something else – an animal, an object, a tool.

Blending autofiction and auto–documentation, RUSH(ES) invites both performer and audience into a heightened state of awareness and transformation.

Alexandra Bachzetsis, RUSH(ES), The Hellenic Centre, London W1U 5AS, 16 and 17 October 2025.
