E...OS VS TH...OS
Elly Constantinou

This choreography is being inspired by the real story of the Salem witches and the events, which took place in Massachusetts of the USA in February 1692 and May 1693, had resulted to the execution of twenty innocent people. In this choreography a witch is the main character who is sentenced to death. However, she has been given a small amount of time, which she chooses to spend dancing
...
While dancing, she travels with her memory into time and places she never dared to be until now. This is followed by unexpected overwhelming emotions that she expresses with her body. Simultaneously her brain acts as a cold hearted killer, constantly reminding her about her imminent death. Do you think the witch has a valid reason to fight against her brain?

Georgia Andreou

This is what I feel and I would like to share it with you
This is all about control
The illusion of control
It all started as a question and from there I couldn’t find answers
More questions appeared
There is no answer
Now it’s lost
Enjoy

ATRAPOS
Ivi Hadjivasiliou

The dance theater performance «ATRAPOS» meaning “pathway” goes through the everyday life of an introvert who almost incarcerated in his own private space, he is living everything through words, recalling the past events of his life with whispers, broken breaths, silences. In the same whispers and silences he is trying to shoulder the desperate harvest time that slowly passes, leaving at every moment, a leftover of existence that is being suspended among jerky movements and relentless fatal stillness.
