W(H)OMAN

Description

With the state of readiness experienced by modern femininity as a starting point, the modern dance production W(h)oman to a choreography by Eva Georgitsopoulou, draws inspiration from the bodies, elegance, power and femininity of dancers, to abstractly imitate the innate ability of animals to detect danger and react to it.

Performers collectively explore their ability to adapt through movement and discretely transform their shapes, qualities and trajectories, with the goal of either highlighting their presence or hiding their identity, averting the possibility of being regarded as a prey.

The funding body of the project is the Ministry of Culture, within the framework of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan "Greece 2.0" with funding from the European Union - NextGeneration EU.

The recording of the production took place at the GMulti-purpose space «Anna & Maria Kalouta» on June 3, 2025.

Director's note

"W(h) oman incarnates the poetry of self-protection, creating a refuge for bodies that have mastered the art of vigilance, revealing to us in the most paradoxical way their innate beauty and resilience."
