performance
especially The Proskairi
adapted for Synthesi troupe in
the confined action
surroundings of a music stage instead of a
conventional venue is quite a novel idea. With
this in mind, the Proskairi Synthesi troupe will
be presenting their latest modern dance
production With the Five Senses at the Baraki tou
Vassili on February 20, 27 and March 6.
"The work's main concern is how the senses are
associated with movement and dance, and, by
extension, human relationships," Dorina
Kalethrianou, the troupe's founder says. Besides
choreographing, Kalethrianou also takes the floor
along with the rest of the crew: Dora Dimopoulou,
Elmina Anastasiou and Yiannis Danakos.
"This production doesn't call for elaborate
lighting or costumes. The dancers' movements are
dictated by a choreography which doesn't exclude
the element of improvisation, particularly when
it comes to interacting with the audience,"
Kalethrianou says of the work's main aim, which
is to go beyond the stage/audience dividing
line.
Musical selections - interspersed with fragments
of speech - from Pink Martini, Ravi Shankar,
Philip Glass, Yann Tiersen, Tom Zr and Celtic
tradition accompany the dancers.
Founded by Kalethrianou in 1986, Proskairi
Synthesi has featured in different venues around
the capital and participated in regional
festivals. In the last few years, the troupe
prefers to stage performances based on works of
literature, notably a production partly inspired
by August Strindberg's Miss Julia (1998), a dance
version of Federico Garcia Lorca's Yerma (1999,
2000) and an adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov's
Lolita (2001).
