Lia Tsolaki
Flux
Lia Tsolaki, a dancer and choreographer, returns to the stage in this dual capacity. Based on material from previous works of hers including parking and aROUND, the choreographer sets out to further explore the ambiguity that stems from the undertaking of roles (gendered or not) and the importance of play in everyday life—play being an activity that should not simply be contrasted with ‘work’, and which provides a link to the roots of social organization. Her new work, Flux, places the fluidity of gender identities and the liminality of the contemporary subject at the epicentre of her choreographic explorations: a man and a women test the limits of their coexistence by swapping places or exploring their pre-determined roles as these are defined by social conventions and by History. However, this isn’t just another duet which strives to illuminate the extremes of the ‘man-woman’ dichotomy or to provide lists of characteristics that belong to either one gender or the other. Rather, it sets out to get its performers into the cracks in the established relationships, into the undefined space of Otherness, and from there, as far as possible, to breach the “limits of the real”, to pose questions and to lay the foundations for a more profound, intuitive understanding of the genders.
