About the event:
The representations of the body on the ancient Greek and Cypriot vases, reliefs and sculptures, become the starting point for a dance voyage.
We attempt to decipher and bring back to life the movement vocabulary that has been frozen / arrested in time, but remains alive within us, as these poses and gestures, are moments of life, experienced then as they are today.
Looking and embodying myths and archetypes we discover a part of ourselves. The image becomes a window towards a personal interior landscape, as well as on a landscape of collective memory.
Myths and stories come to find us or we go to meet them, and through them to narrate our own stories!
Available seats: 50

Production Asomates Dynameis Dance Company with the support of the Cultural Services of the Ministry of Education and Culture, Politismos program 2021
Asomates Dynameis (body less forces) borrows its name from the byzantine angels to indicate the spiritual energy they intent to express through dance. Looking upon the body as a living memory, a poetic topos where the human experience can be traced, their dance becomes a vehicle of remembering and reflecting. The company was founded in 1996 in Paris by the Greek born choreographer Andromachi Dimitriadou-Lindahl. Between 2000 to 2003 the company resided in Stockholm and since 2004 it resides in Nicosia, Cyprus.
Asomates Dynameis has presented works in various stages and festivals, including Dansens hus Medelhavs Museet, Modernadansteatern (Stockholm), Aversta Contemporary Arts Centre (Aversta), Kalamata International Dance Festival, Megaron Mousikis (Athens), Centre Culturel Suedois (Paris), Thessaloniki Cultural Capital, Forum Libre Danse (Avignon, Les Hivernales), Michalis Kakoyiannis Foundation (Athens), Cyprus Choreography Platform, Kypria International Festival, Cyprus European Dance Festival, Dance Waves International Festival, No-Body Performing Arts Festival, Maison de la Musique et de La Dance ( Strasbourg), 3rd Zante Dance Festival (Zakynthos), 3rd Dance Bridges Festival, Kolkata, India, among others.
