Vortex

by M. Garefi, M. Symeonidou

Vitruvian Thing, Ptolemaeon 29A, 4th floor, 54630, Thessaloniki

Vortex. Eternal and continuous swirling. It is about your inescapeable inprisonment to the commands of destiny or a delusion of freedom? Your entire life’s thread wraps and defines you until the moment of freedom. Then, you are the one and the only creator of your deeds. Are you ready to come in terms with the results of your decisions? The decisions that resembling to mythological monsters swirl around you in a perpetual dance.

Just before the completion of an important part of their studies that might lead them to separate ways, Maria Garefi, Olia Mitsiou, Margarita Symeonidou and Katerina Taitzoglou decide to introduce themselves to the audience of Thessaloniki as independent creators. Their cooperation started during their studies in Andromachi Kafantari’s professional dance school. With common experience in the field but above all common vision they decide to go public and present their work. With power of will they managed to overcome the “vortex” and fullfill their expectations by signing the final presentation of their choreography.

Choreography 1 - “M&M”:
This choreography was created due to cooperation. Fate is the main subject. It is possible to accept your weakness in comparison to the power of destiny? Do you realise that you are bound to the commands of fate or do you choose to live in the delusion of freedom? Freedom is an illusion. You won’t desire things that you unable to have. Your life’s thread wraps and defines you while enslaving. Until you reach freedom. Then your oppressor becomes your prey and he can be burnt in the fire of your soul.

Choreography 2 - “Pandora’s Box”:
The archetypal mother figure of all women but also the principal cause of human suffering. A naive, foolish even deliberate act released and spread all evil to humanity. A careless action that led to such dramatic consequences. Pandora incarnates yourself. You are the one and only creator of your deeds. The decisions are yours, divotal and the results are cruel and unchangeable. Like mythological monsters swirl around you in a perpetual dance and dray your inner self through time that spins endlessly and destructively. Hope faded. It escaped.
