We first met it at ONC 7 in 2020, at the Onassis Stegi Upper Stage. "Vanishing Point" is selected by Aerowaves as one of the 20 works for 2022 and is presented at the Spring Forward Festival 2022, in Eleusis on May 1st. The concept of "Vanishing Point" has been evolved, beyond the performance, into an installation entitled "Deep Horizon", as part of the Onassis New Choreographers Festival 9, but also into a film, presented in a world digital premiere at Onassis Channel on YouTube.
The body as the core of existence, but also a frontier of conscience. In “Vanishing Point”, a humanoid being wakes from the depths of an agonizing memory or an otherworldly future. Is this science fiction or some nightmare made a reality?
“Dismembered and incomplete at the edges of life” in the words of these two choreographers, the body seems to be both a destination reached and unreachably distant at the same time. The stage is turned into a mirror of existence, through which the deepest of fears are refracted, with images drawn from the human condition itself.
Spring Forward Festival 2022 takes place in Eleusis, within the framework of Moving Europe, a 2023 Eleusis Cultural Capital of Europe program, focusing on young people and dance, with the main objectives of creating a dialogue between Greek and foreign artists, while actively supporting young and emerging choreographers and cultivating a new audience for dance in the city, beyond the limits of the title of European Capital of Culture.
