Stumbles

Stumbles is a contemporary dance performance that explores the notion of stumbling as a physical, emotional, and historical process that reveals our fragility and vulnerability.

Through movement and sound, two dancers and two musicians create a world, in which the loss of balance and the ongoing effort to regain it forms the central theme. Circular movements, spiral pathways, and weight shifts reflect the cyclical nature of time: the body remembers, the past returns, and the stage transforms into a space where today becomes tomorrow and yesterday.

The performance encourages us to remain standing in a world that is constantly changing. It serves as a reminder that balance is not a solitary achievement but the result of solidarity and interaction with others. It is a journey from the little stumbles of movement to the great, existential falters that shape our memory, our identity, and our collective history.

The production “Stumbles” took place on 1 and 2 August 2025 at the Second Ancient Theatre of Larissa.

The filming of the production took place as part of the Project “Sub 3.29 Platform for managing cultural events in archaeological sites and museums”, which is included in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan “Greece 2.0” and is funded by the NextGenerationEU plan.
