On an almost bare stage, ten dancers create a sonic and visual landscape in which movements, breaths and voices rustle, converge and resonate, gradually forming, almost by accident, a collective body governed by a mysterious and indecipherable logic. Inspired by the music of Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis, and in particular his monumental work Axion Esti, My Fierce Ignorant Step seeks to uncover, within our shared memory, the sensations of childhood and adolescence.
Following Mycelium, Greek choreographer Christos Papadopoulos continues his exploration of a dance language deeply rooted in the living world, developing here a choreographic writing in which the musicality of movement and the breathing of bodies merge into a single organic language.
“The synchronisation of movement is not the goal; we do not dance together because we are synchronised, but rather become synchronised because we are together.”
