YES HALLO HI

On Christmas of 2020, ody icons released his first track, with the video clip “Working Out My Little Muscles,” an electropop manifest, urging audiences to forget the planet’s sufferings, and instead focus on their muscles training.

“YES HΑLLO HI” is ody icons’ new work, which premieres at the Onassis YouTube Channel, as part of the Onassis New Choreographers Festival 8. In "YES HALLO HI," a person calls, from the warmth of his middle-class home, to an unidentified service asking for guidance on how to save the world and the future. He asks ironically, “Which application form should I fill? Which fields should I check?” In a parallel narrative, the same person finds himself in a situation where the animal outbreak prevails in “nature.”

Through his collaboration with the music producer Sagittarius Lefthand, οdy icons has created “YES HALLO HI” combining electronic music with slam poetry and political lyrics. Drawing on the theatricality and exaggeration of our times, with a political-sarcastic mood of a modern, strange, queer cabaret, ody icons aims on the reconcilement between the warmth of freedom and the pleasure of melancholy. In other words, through the meeting of electronic music and poetry, "YES HALLO HI" seeks to create the right heat that will trigger personal responsibility
