Katerina Andreou
Α Kind of Fierce
This performance premiered at the Athens & Epidaurus Festival 2016 and was later presented at the ImpulsTanz Festival (Vienna), the CDC Atelier de Paris Carolyn Carlson (Paris), the NEXT Festival (Valenciennes), the CCN Nantes and the Festival PARALLELE (Marseille). A recipient of the prestigious Prix Jardin d’Europe 2016, Katerina Andreou’s production returns for this year’s Athens Festival.
Intrigued by the ambiguity of concepts such as rule and canon and the subjective meaning of freedom, the artist delivers a performance which retains the illusion of free will. A Kind of Fierce is a solo piece, which reflects on its own solitary nature and toys with the concepts of exposure and expression, while keeping in mind that the onstage action is always about the present moment. The performance entertains the concept of fierce and seeks its own version of it, in an effort to give room to freedom. Combining the sharpness of thinking with the immediacy of impulse, Andreou invents a new set of rules, only to then manipulate them, in order to playfully re-consider her contradictions, references, and obsessions. The artist is keen on avoiding nostalgia, fear, fate, or hope: everything is at once meaningful and meaningless. This is her personal version of “free dance.”
