Anna Maria Rammou, Chara Kotsali
An energetic dance performance exploring the absurdity of modern entertainment and the paradox of progress.
This dance piece is a high-octane journey through the "amusement park" of the contemporary world, where the absurd and the apocalyptic coexist. Three dancers use their bodies and rhythm to traverse personal narratives into a collective history, reflecting on themes of progress, exhaustion, burnout, and unfulfilled promises. It's a marathon that is both physically and emotionally draining, where advancement is inextricably linked to destruction. Choreographer Chara Kotsali, with a background in anthropology and a keen eye for the politics of sound and movement, presents a work that is both joyful and subtly propagandistic. She challenges the audience to consider where we are headed, acknowledging that the experiment has, fortunately, failed, and the world continues. It's a poetic intoxication, the softest thing that can happen during a fall.
