HEREAFTER
As the very title of the work suggests, space, time and rhythm play a major role in the solo HEREAFTER, which moves between artistic and movement performance. On the border of installation, Kateřina Szymanski encourages us to think along with objects and metaphors. In the gap between our subjective perception and reality is our body, and as long as we are aware of it, we can call this moment an experience. What happens to a place that I am no longer in?
Body Monologue
What can the body do? And what does it tell us in its monologue? It is silent, and at the same time it speaks to us with its gestures and movement and lets us marvel at the skills, ingenuity and imagination of what it is capable of. In the performance Body Monologue with talented Greek dancer Gavriela Antonopoulou, sometimes we don't want to believe that it's the human body at all. Choreographer Anastasia Valsamaki explores its inexhaustible and unimaginable possibilities with her through dance.
