“Did the rain dances ever cause any rain?”

This dance performance is a lonely attempt to connect with memory, community and hope in a world that drowns in individualism, productivity and hopelessness. It’s an ecstatic dance that wanders between plastic garbage, emergencies, dreams, glitter, hangovers, concrete buildings, memories, deep darkness, sea waves, social movements, herbs, words, candies, cigarettes and a human body stumbling on threads and searching for meanings.

Duration: 30΄

Project: RANGE

The color palette of today’s composers is no longer limited to the classical range of musical instruments. All sounds can become music. In his music, Egid Joechl often works with sounds from the environment and nature and combines them with traditional instruments. During his residency in Akropoditi Dance and Performing Arts Centre in Syros, the composer tried to capture some of these sounds and use them in his new music piece.
The presentation will be held in English.

Les Willis* | Act 2

Starting from the musical piece “Fort-Schreiten” by Egid Joechl, the performance focuses on the theme of self-determination of the individual both in relation to other individuals but also in terms of contemporary social conditions. Are we really free to follow the paths we choose? Does the (co)existence of the individual within a broader collective allow for self-definition? Can we resist the flow of the masses in modern society, even in a utopian state where love appears to guide; how much freedom can be accommodated in the expanse of free existence?

The performance, borrowing elements from the world of fashion, a field that acts mainly with following trends and imposing standards, looks at the existence of a person through various master-and-slave relationships, obedience and disobedience, love and hate.

* Les Wilis, female creatures from the underworld, return every now and then for one night only, to restore balance against those who were restricted, wronged, oppressed.
