Lenio Kaklea

matter – of – act


Lenio Kaklea, the 24 year-old graduate of the Greek State School of Dance who has been living and working in France for the last four years, transforms her generation’s concerns and questions about the function of art today into dance.


In matter-of-act (a project for a festival and ten festival-goers), she questions the logic of the fabricated spectacle and the easy answers it provides, proposing a living, open form in its place which explores the relationship between the Athens Festival and its audience, arousing the mind and the emotions in the process.


Matter-of-act’s preparation and research were made possible thanks to the Isadora Duncan Cultural Centre.
