Dreams for the Dreamless is a travel account, a dark pop odyssey that confronts the fantasies and clichés surrounding Scandinavia. Over the course of long daily rambles during a residency in Finland, Gregory Stauffer soaks up his surroundings, experiments, gets lost, and collects material as a narrative preamble to his piece. Objects, animated videos, choreographic gestures, sounds and lights thus respond to the vastness of the Nordic forest, its myths and silence, as well as the role of the artist as measuring instrument of the landscape. All these elements merge, interfere with or repel each other. A poetic and troubling solo piece that wavers between a dream and a state of awakened reality.

Gregory Stauffer (born in 1980) makes work which is deliberately located in a transverse and blurred territory between dance and performance, with touches of video here and there. Since 2006, he has been developing site-specific choreographic work, videos and performances. His shows are linked to ecosophical thought. They question the contexts within which they are created, playing with relationships of perspective and measure between human and environment, and the fictions they generate individually and collectively. His multidisciplinary practice favours collaborative work. He lives and works in Geneva.
