Concept/Choreography/Performance: Kalia Maliali, Lambrini Litsa

An experimental dance theater duet created spontaneously after the unexpected meeting of two creative performers. With sense of humor, sincerity and a series of succesional images the piece unfolds on stage the worries, secret desires and an opposition against all the unfulfilled expectations of a so much promising generation. Bodies and objects interact in the frame of a “deconstructed time”, while they drag to our aesthetically indefinite present some colorful memories and moods, which come to remind us that acting and reacting not within the plan can also be an option and a way of living….
