The performance will be followed by an open discussion with the audience.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Choreographers Yiota Peklari and Vassia Zorbali, together with a mixed ensemble of performers with and without visual or hearing disabilities, explore the imprint of time through the materiality of the body, both organic and inorganic, moving toward the creation of a multisensory, accessible dance performance.<\/p>\n

The performance b(l)alloon radically expands the boundaries of the stage experience, establishing a shared space between performers and audience, where sound, movement, and tactility coexist as a common language of perception and communication for both sighted and non-sighted, hearing and non-hearing audiences.<\/p>\n

The aesthetics of accessibility are the creative principle of the group’s work. Breaking down stereotypes, the performance presents disabled and non-disabled performers on stage, conversing through a new way of artistic expression that does not rely on conventional accessibility tools (such as interpretation, audio description or technological aids), but discovers and cultivates innovative, alternative performative means of inclusion. Communication and coordination are based exclusively on movement, voice, rhythm and vibration \u2014 the fundamental expressive means of the performing art of dance.<\/p>\n
