Description

Ahhh…An expression of frustration and irony about the fact that, despite the progressive image of our times, stereotypes and exclusion still remain strong. Through satire and dance, the work comments on the constructed nature of female stereotypes. Deconstructing the image of the “perfect woman” that society has promoted for years, the two choreographers and performers bring forward the so-called “magkia”* (a Greek word referring to strength and intensity), separating its qualities from being seen as exclusively male-coded. A journey through how the body crosses these boundaries, redefines roles, and connects with expression and identity.

*magkia (μαγκιά) refers to a specific philosophy of life based on street-wise courage, personal honor, and dignity. It is the defining quality of a mangas (μάγκας)- the rebellious, non-conformist “tough guy” of the early 20th-century Greek urban underworld.
