THE FALL IN BETWEEN – ALEXANDROS ANASTASIADIS

This work addresses the critical question of who the individual is when the individual does not define his/her identity through his/her social environment. It examines the subtle ways in which a persona is constructed through each encounter, keeping the individual away from his or her inner self. Placing the performer in the middle of a circle formed by the audience, a cathartic, almost ritualistic process unfolds which equally sheds light on strengths and weaknesses.
It begins by examining the pressure to fulfill the role of performer, which explores the act of offering. By poetically interweaving dance and words, the performer offers the audience material and immaterial goods, the objects of the near and far space, elements of the invisible, the imaginative, but also the emotional perception. Thus he questions generosity and expectations together and in relation to the audience, who are both observers and observed.
Reaching the limits of his capabilities, he reveals the necessity of the audiuence’s input, through observation and external recognition. The performer is faced with the unfulfillable task of sustaining the immaterial contribution of the audience indefinitely, bringing the body into a physicality that struggles against the limits of the possible.
This piece is a shared experience that celebrates the courage of fragility.

FREEDOM, AT LAST – IRAQI BODIES

📍 Evanthia Kairi Theatre
Freedom at Last embraces the ultimate. Looming before us, action, and life veiled by stillness. As we sit, silent, anticipating our last freedom, we find that our quest for freedom demands that we endure ourselves, the others, the State, the war, and ultimately the revolution.
The work of Iraqi Bodies explores the link between movement and gesture, between dance and theatre. The development of their artistic practice has been deeply influenced by the likes of Antonin Artaud, Jerzy Grotowski, Jacques Copeau and Tatsumi Hijikata while retaining a constant dialogue with thinkers, writers and poets such as Eugène Ionesco, Samuel Beckett, Charles Baudelaire, Le Comte de Lautréamont, William Shakespeare, Henri Bergson, Krishnamurti and many others.
The poetics of awareness is an absolute given in their continued search for a radical scenic language.
Freedom, at Last was first created for an industrial venue in Gothenburg during the winter of 2022. Since then the piece has found new reiterations with a varying cast of performers and has been presented in Sweden and Italy. For the performance at Akropoditi DanceFest we will be inviting two of Akropoditi Dance Theatre’s performers, Ariadni Kitsou and @Angeliki Ageletaki, to join the rehearsal process and performance of the piece as it finds itself in yet another reiteration in Syros.

Through the pandemic, we remembered how vital the connection between people is. Performing arts expanded its value and possibilities beyond the theater. It is important that the performers on stage not only become central figures but also feel the world, move forward, and bring about change with the audience. This durational installation – performance is inspired by traditional Japanese Noh theatre, which exists between life and life after death. Physical expression is also created based on traditional Japanese theatre movements, and the relationship between the performer andprops – especially the mask– is an important aspect of this performance. It is a work that makes us think about the reality, the unreality, the unknown, and the invisible world that spread outside the theater and considers the situation in which human beings are placed.

📅 13 Jul 2024

📍 Apollon Theatre Apollon Theater
Saeed Hani, a choreographer, and his international dance ensemble in their performance "Inlet" explore the multifaceted role of walls and borders in human history and contemporary society. Reflecting on personal experiences growing up in the Middle East, Hani questions the glorification of walls and borders, pondering their hindrance to human progress and the right to a free life. Drawing inspiration from the legend of Rome's founding, where a wall marks a violent beginning, Hani delves into the deeper implications of these barriers. Through his performances, Hani transcends mere dance, aiming to evoke a profound portrayal of human experiences, often employing nudity to offer a pure and unadulterated expression.
Preferring to label his work as "Movement Art", Hani aims to exceed the confines of traditional contemporary dance. "Inlet" seeks to convey not only physical and metaphorical barriers but also a longing for a world devoid of divisions, resonating with Hani's personal quest for a unified, peaceful coexistence among humanity.

Greece
📅 19 Jul 2024
⏲️ 19:00
📍 Akropoditi Dance and Performing Arts Centre
Performance for children 6+, teens and adults
“The Journey of Lost Things” is a theatrical dance performance for everyone, ages 6 to 106, that delves into the theme of ‘loss’. Set in a scenography reminiscent of a dusty attic in an old family house, this performance unravels the relationships among three sisters as they navigate through this space and time filled with nostalgia, imagination, secrets, memories, and mystery. Along their journey, they are faced with small as well as bigger losses, ranging from the loss of loved ones and cherished objects to the loss of connection between them and even the loss of time itself.
How do these three young women find support and comfort through each other while developing their own identities? Through a blend of humor and poetry, acrobatics, and mimicry, this performance takes the audience on a fantastical journey where there is room for complexity: laughter and tears, anger, and acceptance.

📍 Evanthia Kairi Theatre
This work addresses the critical question of who the individual is when the individual does not define his/her identity through his/her social environment. It examines the subtle ways in which a persona is constructed through each encounter, keeping the individual away from his or her inner self. Placing the performer in the middle of a circle formed by the audience, a cathartic, almost ritualistic process unfolds which equally sheds light on strengths and weaknesses.
It begins by examining the pressure to fulfill the role of performer, which explores the act of offering. By poetically interweaving dance and words, the performer offers the audience material and immaterial goods, the objects of the near and far space, elements of the invisible, the imaginative, but also the emotional perception. Thus he questions generosity and expectations together and in relation to the audience, who are both observers and observed.
Reaching the limits of his capabilities, he reveals the necessity of the audiuence’s input, through observation and external recognition. The performer is faced with the unfulfillable task of sustaining the immaterial contribution of the audience indefinitely, bringing the body into a physicality that struggles against the limits of the possible.
The piece evolves into the release of expectations, culminating in an acceptance of the body’s limitations and ultimately relinquishing the performer’s role as the epicentre of the circle.
This piece is a shared experience that celebrates the courage of fragility.

The Greek National Opera Ballet / Μπαλέτο ΕΛΣ is travelling to the 11th International Dance and Performing Arts Festival on Syros to present the modern dance diptych titled Return of the Summer, featuring choreographies by Ioannis Mandafounis and Konstantinos Rigos. The piece Point of No Return, with music by Giorgos Koumendakis and a choreography by Ioannis Mandafounis, converses with the piece Les Nuits d’été, choreographed by the GNO Ballet Director, Konstantinos Rigos, and with music by Hector Berlioz. This combination creates an impressively vibrant and dynamic programme of modern dance. The tour is made possible by a grant from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) [www.SNF.org] to enhance the Greek National Opera’s artistic outreach.
Point of No Return
In Point of No Return, the internationally acclaimed dancer and choreographer Ioannis Mandafounis composes a modern piece out of dance elements deeply rooted in the tradition of classical ballet. In tune with the music of Giorgos Koumendakis, the GNO Ballet dancers focus on the transparency and authenticity of their moves via the arsenal of classical ballet steps. Although the group’s physical performance reveals an extremely classical choreographic approach, one can still recognise the individuality of the performers as well as a particularly modern treatment of the presence and interpretation of movement. These obvious elements signal the choreographer’s unique style across all of his new works.
Les Nuits d’été
The famous song cycle Les Nuits d’été is one of Hector Berlioz’s most popular works. The leading French composer wrote these six songs for voice and piano, setting poetry by Théophile Gautier. His goal was to musically portray love in its most idealised form through delicate melodies. Based on the song cycle of the same title, Konstantinos Rigos creates to
