Description

Drawing inspiration from the myth of Prometheus, Spyros Kouvaras continues his choreographic explorations across our collective memory. Using movement, sound, and image as tools, he delves into the monumental struggle of the mythical hero, in an effort to uncover the parallels between ancient times and modern history. The choreographer “transports” the body to the fragile present, all the while perceiving a dream of the future concealed within the myth. As he plays with the different definitions of time, the original electroacoustic music and the surround sound installation lead the performers to a dance that evokes images reminiscent of the landscapes of the unconscious.

A choreographic uprising or a manifesto about freedom? PROMETHEUS 2024 (unbound bodies) brings to the foreground the proud independence of a form of heroism that explores the limitless boundaries of imagination and sheds light on the contemporary battlefield, which essentially is our own culture. This way, it focuses on the anthropological aspect of the myth, raising a crucial question in our modern, volatile world: Can humans save humanity?
