Flutter

29^th Kalamata International Dance Festival

Summary

A human alone, in his personal space. His whole world merely a chair; solid, stiff, uncomfortable. In a relentless friction with time, or else with nothingness, he finds himself squeezed in a conflict with the self. Time and time again it’s impossible for him to settle, into this loneliness, into the agony of existence.

In absence of the gaze of others a brand new space opens up, that hosts his utmost desires, however strange. Using every medium possible, he slips into a dance of adaptation, a game of metamorphosis; being ridiculous liberates him. An imperceptible passage from realism to a personal fluid universe, a timeless dimension where everything everything is allowed. An escape attempt that could easily turn into a nightmare, but our protagonist is not aware of the danger. In this moment, he is a bird venturing a leap.

A surrealistic solo dance performance that investigates the depths of human existence. As if looking through a peephole, the audience witnesses the creation of an intermediate space, where the private becomes public, where a human being faces the world and, more importantly, his own self.

An ode to reserving one’s right to uncertainty.
