YELP danceco - «DAS (IST) EIN…» like a sugar cube in water
What we cannot speak about, we must pass over in silence
The motto and ulterior motive for Mariela Nestora’s latest work is provided by the Austrian thinker, Ludwig Wittgenstein. In highlighting the words of a great philosopher, the choreographer and founder of the YELP danceco is manifesting her generation’s interest in incorporating aspects of academic thought into dance.
Two solos merge into a duet in which the body language and stage environment bring dichotomies to the surface, which document the passage from the narcissistic “ego” to Otherness.
.pelma.lia haraki - Party animals
For over a decade now, Lia Haraki and her company, Pelma, have left their mark on Cypriot contemporary dance. A courageous and radical performer and choreographer, Haraki remains open to experimentation and artistic exchange; just one thing remains sacrosanct: the ‘corporality’ of dance. Her new work, Party animals, remains emotionally direct and moving, drawing on Pop music whose words and sounds we simply cannot get out of our heads.
