CREO / Ceci n’est pas un siège
Torino, Italia
4 Dec '10
The company, embarking on a research path, is attempting to uncover the motor functions through challenging what has been mastered and is taken for granted by the dancer. It introduces a symbol as a new given and it narrates its exploration and conquest. A chair becomes necessary for the dancer’s every movement; without it they cannot stand, move or even be. A chair is transformed into an apparently integral element of the choreographic composition. What will happen though if that element were absent?
The absence of the given causes its revelation, because, as Wittgenstein states “the most important aspects always stay hidden from us due to their simplicity and intimacy. You are unable to observe something because it is always there in front of you” or as Heracletus laconically points out “Nature loves to hide itself “.
The company received a state grant for this performance by the Greek National Center of Theater and Dance.
