ΑΝΩΝΥΜΟ

Over the last decade I have generated a body of choreographic work that focuses on the integration of Performing and Media Arts. A constant obsession on my creative process has been to find means that question the struggles of a society dominated by media. In these projects, the presence of the performers’ body has usually functioned as a device that explores and inhabits a constructed digital reality.

After this technological saturation, I feel the urge to return to the “analogy of the body.” The artistic force that moves this project comes from the need to redefine ways of connecting with people beyond digital communication, to rediscover the connective power of the physical bodies, and to use dance as a collective catalyzer. As cultural form, dance connects us through a physical experience, being far away from the digital culture that seems to be splitting us apart.

"ΑΝΩΝΥΜΟ"'s choreographic approach takes the form of a physical ceremony, a contemporary ritual that recalls the power of bodies dancing together. Taking traditional dance forms as a source of inspiration, we have transcended the formal movements, patterns and rhythms, to focus on the collective encounter of a shared experience.
