Introduction
A soundtrack is produced before our very eyes. For, “MOS” is a scenic game of image, sound, and movement, starring two performers who imbue a series of cinematic scenes and moving images with their original sonic framework and imprint.

Coconuts cut in half, with their flesh removed. Washtubs filled with water. Bathroom plungers. Tap shoes. These are some of the objects employed by the two performers-orchestrators in “MOS” to produce sound.
Ioanna Paraskevopoulou, after being selected by the internationally recognized dance platform Aerowaves as one of the 20 most promising young makers of the year, continues her intensive presence abroad with her first choreographic work, “MOS,” commissioned by Onassis Stegi. Immediately after the ONE Dance Week festival (Bulgaria), the Carlow Arts Festival (Ireland), the Atelier de Paris / CDCN / June Events Festival (France), and the 29th Kalamata Dance Festival, “MOS” keeps on its impressive journey across the stages of the world: from Italy to Norway, from England and the Dance Umbrella Festival at London’s Barbican to Spain and the Otono Festival, among many others, to return, for just a few “collector’s edition” nights at Onassis Stegi, where it all began.“MOS” is a duet where the choreographer herself and her co-dancer Giorgos Kotsifakis enter into discourse with a disparate series of images and seek to impart their own transcription in space. The body and (micro-)movements co-exist with curious objects and materials to act as a means of sound production. The material is intensified, exploded, paused, repeated, and distorted in order to bolster the sound experience. Within the scenic formulation, individual pieces of information are teased out of the reused materials, thus inviting audience to generate new connections and interrelations. They find themselves successively transformed into listeners of a makeshift and heterogeneous soundtrack that unfolds before them. The performers become the intermediaries between the archive and the audience, offering up their own personal footage, composing their own sound adaptation of a non-linear cinematic script, and ultimately opting what could possibly be heard.
Ioanna Paraskevopoulou views sound as her main choreographic tool. In her own words, she is mostly occupied with how a choreography will “be heard.”
