Konstantinos Rigos – ΟΚΤΑΝΑ Dancetheatre

Arcadia

Eight years on from Draft B, Konstantinos Rigos returns to the Athens Festival with a production about the (futile) quest for happiness. Arcadia, as both a starting point and a final destination, provides a broad perspective for the episodes that comprise the production. Twelve dancers attempt to invoke collective images inspired by the idyllic land of Arcadia in the audience’s memory. But the world of eternal innocence, of happiness and freedom has been lost forever. Arcadiais a requiem for nature, for the utopian dream of Arcadia is in retreat, forced back by the frenzied destruction of the natural environment and the acceptance of our mortality.
