Performances | Back to Athens 2023 | Geometry of racional
Back to Athens 10: Geometry of racional, a review, presented the performances:
«Airplants»
The performance "Airplants" is inspired by airplants in relation to the concept of uprooting. Airplants are rootless plants that absorb nutrients from the air and live off the humidity of the surrounding atmosphere without needing a specific soil to survive. The performance is dedicated to the uprooted individuals who have lost their roots and those who feel like buds withering before they can bloom because the trees that gave them life lacked roots. The performance combines movement and voice, presenting a metaphorical and emotionally charged work that explores themes such as loss, fragility, and resilience in adverse conditions.

«Stone&soul Mosaic»
The path from the rough-hewn rock to the elaborate human project.
Every action "bores" a new stone and each stone, at its turn a new circumstance. Friction, conflict, interaction and again from the start; until their corners are chiseled to then await a sort of catharsis. With their new shape they negotiate their assimilation into the whole and their permanent placement in the cement foundations of the project.
