Description

The piece hot dark matter, inspired and choreographed by Zoi Efstathiou, explores the transit of refugees, drawing parallels to the passage from heaven to earth. It also compares refugee reception with the arrival of hot dark matter, a whirlwind moving leftwards and carrying information, an ambiguous mass.

Hot dark matter is a programme that tracks bodies in the deep sea, a programme that delves into the Odyssey-like journey of refugees who are driven away from foreign countries. Focusing on the body of a dancer moving leftwards as they strive to move towards the light, the concepts of exclusion and integration, intergroup contact and conflict, are being shaped. The piece treads a fine line between the presence or absence of a realistic conflict that arises during the reception of hot dark matter, as the bodies clash, align, merge, experience exclusion, and move forward together.
