Katerina Andreou and Mélissa Guex combine their voices and bodies in a vibrant performance where screaming becomes an act of transformation. SHOUT TWICE explores the raw force of emotions, collective resonance, and the fusion of movement, sound, and space. Inspired by the structure of a concert, the work constructs a fragmented dramaturgy, in which each moment is a crescendo of intensity, a pulse shared with the audience. It is not a linear narrative, but a sensory experience in which screaming, far from being a simple outburst, becomes a driving force of joy, playfulness, and resilience. A collective cry, raw and vibrant. A space where excess becomes strength, where movement becomes music.

Mélissa Guex is a dancer, performer, and choreographer. She began her artistic career in Brussels, where she studied performing arts, before earning a bachelor’s degree in contemporary dance at La Manufacture in Lausanne. As an associate artist at the Théâtre Sévelin in Lausanne for four years, she created several short pieces, including the solo piece De ceux – Episode (an improvised format), as well as her first solo piece Sous sol. She has also collaborated with renowned choreographers such as Géraldine Chollet, Anna Marija Adomaityte for her piece Pas de deux, Augustin Rebetez, and Katerina Andreou for her first group piece Bless This Mess. In 2023, her second creation, Rapunzel, was presented at the Swiss Dance Days in Zurich. Mélissa is currently touring with her duo DOWN, which she is developing in collaboration with drummer Clément Grin.
Born in Athens, Katerina Andreou lives in France. A graduate of the Athens School of Law and the National School of Dance, she completed the ESSAIS program at the CNDC in Angers and holds a master’s degree in choreographic research (Paris 8). As a performer, she has collaborated with DD Dorvillier, Anne Lise Le Gac, Bryan Campbell, Dinis Machado, Emmanuelle Huynh, and Ana Rita Teodoro, among others. She received the Jardin d’Europe prize at the ImpulsTanz festival in 2016 for her solo piece A Kind of Fierce. She has since created the solo piece BSTRD (2018), the duet Zeppelin Bend (2021) with Natali Mandila, the performance Rave to Lament (2021), the solo piece Mourn Baby Mourn (2022), and, most recently, Bless This Mess (2024).
