Sasha Waltz, the celebrated Berlin-based choreographer who made her Festival debut in 2006 with Körper , part of her trilogy on the body, returns to Athens with a new ritualistic choreography which negotiates the contrast between primal, instinctive emotion and the intellect by relating the individual to the group. In combination with the music of Edgard Varèse, Iannis Xenakis and Claude Vivier, a talented cast of 24 convey images and tremor which can sometimes unsettle with their power or offer moving, mystic experiences that touch on the ineffable.
