Reverie

The performance “Reverie” is influenced by the theories of Carl Jung, who argued that myths and dreams are fundamental manifestations of the collective unconscious, which is common to all humankind and has been shaped over time. Myths, collective stories, art, and even religion contribute specific forms and symbols to human culture that constitute a space held in common. Through the use of these symbolic forms, the work creates associative connections between the known and the unfamiliar, light and dark, dreams and reality, the personal and the collective, and thus sheds light on how fragile and variable these equilibria are.

The choreographers Georgia Tegou and Michalis Theophanous create performances that meld contemporary dance, visual physical theatre and performance, and in which visual environments take on great importance as active elements of the choreography. They themselves call their choreographic approach “dance-as-design”.
