A solo-performance by choreographer Persa Stamatopoulou on Dec. 18-19 will conclude the National Museum of Modern Art’s (NMMA) “Prologues” program which opened the venue’s new halls to the public ahead of its official inauguration.
During the performance titled “Displacement – The Road”, dancer Tasos Karachalios combines the continuous displacement of the body, through variations in weight, axis, position and gaze, with the idea of a world which is in an increasingly violent and continuous redistribution, common grounds and benchmarks between them are sought.
The performance, which retraces the timelessness of human displacement, is inspired by Fernando Pessoa’s book titled “The Walker” and by using the body and sound as tools, approaches and records a route of overturns, pauses, alertness, redefinition and reconstruction.
With the collaboration of the musician Sakis Kleisiaris (original music composition) a sound environment is created, as a musical score, on which the kinetic action gradually unfolds.The performer – dancer, as a traveler in space and time, experiments with a simple, abstract kinetic vocabulary, redefining each time his position and perspective.
The event will start at 19:00 and will last 40 minutes. Entry is free with admission tickets that will be distributed by EMST on a first come first served basis one hour before the performance.
The performance is supported by the J. F. Costopoulos Foundation.
