Five performers form their own dance community where their bodies function as a tool for the production of kinetic material while music is the connection of the steps and their rhythmic expression, building bridges between contemporary reality and the stories of the past.
For all of them there is an inner search for the question "What is dance?" and each one gives its own interpretive answer, which it shares in the "community":
"Dance is beauty through the wrinkling of the body and image"
"It's a way of life"
"It is the connection of the body and the breath with thoughts and feelings"
"It's the way to be energized but also to relax, to express yourself, to feel alive in the here and now."
This "dance" becomes a way of expressing emotions but also a necessity for externalizing beliefs and differentiations regarding the intense situations we experience daily. The movement is constant, in a rhythm familiar to Greek folk sounds. Seven (7) is the number that characterizes the musical composition and becomes obsessed with the creation of kinetic patterns. The circle and the semicircle constantly emerge as a shape in space and bodies, creating a perpetual condition of motion and movement through space. How long can this endless kinetic pattern stay alive? How can the ever-increasing rate be maintained in the body when it reaches the limits of exhaustion? The goal is for the dance and the music that surrounds it to never "fade". It may fall silent in the end, but it remains as an echo, as an image and as a feeling.
A dance that tends to ...... ∞,an open call for all!!
