Remains of Dreams

The National School of Dance (KSOT) continues tirelessly its educational and artistic work aiming to promote contemporary dance in Greece. On July 16th and 17th, the students of the KSOT graduating class of 2022 complete their studies with the performance “Remains of Dreams,” featuring choreographies by Ioannis Mandafounis, Marco Goecke, and Rainer Behr.

These three choreographers have their own distinct gaze and approach: “AliMia” by Ioannis Mandafounis creates an imaginary world of ideas, images, and human relations showcasing the ideal ‘free body’. In “Blushing,” Marco Goecke explores what happens when someone blushes. How can this be caused by a word or a gesture? Finally, Rainer Behr’s “Broken Circle” addresses a situation where there is no way out and social bonds collapse inside us. But there is always hope for what may be hidden behind the erected walls.
