Georgia Vardarou - Hardcore Research on Dance (21.00)
Georgia Vardarou returns to the Athens Festival with a solo which encapsulates the content and evolution of her personal dance. The talented Greek dancer, who has lived and worked in Brussels since 2004, having moved to Belgium to undertake postgraduate studies at PARTS, dissects the way she dances with an anthropological precision.
If experience forms a physical archive within the body, this internalized history makes its presence felt at every moment: a figure moving or stopping in an unpredictable way to an uneven rhythm, stripped of predetermined themes.
In association with: STUK kunstencentrum/Leuven (Belgium), Monty/Antwerp (Βelgium)
Amalgama dance company - Hidden in the olive groves
(22.00)
A space dominated by women in which dance attempts to bring on stage issues of female identity. Why not?
After her series of work dealing with the social construction of gender, Maria Gorgia turns to the Greek woman’s arduous path to emancipation over the last two centuries.
Rania Glymitsa, the choreographer’s long-time associate, performs this demanding solo which is composed out of movement, speech, props and video. Constant transformations and movement vocabulary in an insightful dialogue with Greek history.
