The National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST) completes the program PROLOGUES with the presentation of the performance Displacement \u2013 The Road <\/em>by \u00a0Persa Stamatopoulou Contemporary Dance Company, on Saturday 17 and on Sunday 18 December at 19.00 with the kind\u00a0support of The J. F. Costopoulos Foundation.<\/p>\n

It regards a solo-performance based on the idea of a trip that is organized and experienced by an individual and explores the concept of change and displacement from one place to another, the wandering, the re-start and finally the action he is required to handle within a landscape<\/p>\n

without borders and without boundaries, timeless, blank, white.<\/p>\n

With the collaboration of the musician Sakis Kleisiaris (original music composition) a sound environment is created, as a musical score, on which the kinetic action gradually unfolds.The performer – dancer, as a traveler in space and time, experiments with a simple, abstract kinetic vocabulary, redefining each time his position and perspective.<\/p>\n

Combining the continuous displacement of the body, through variations in weight, axis, position and gaze, with the idea of a world which is in an increasingly violent and continuous redistribution, common grounds and benchmarks between them are sought. The performance, which retraces the timelessness of human displacement, is inspired by Fernando Pessoa\u2019s book titled “The Walker” and by using the body and sound as tools, approaches and records a route of overturns, pauses, alertness, redefinition and reconstruction.<\/p>\n
