Nicosia Municipal Theatre
Nicosia International Festival continues its collaboration with Onassis Stegi with a contemporary dance diptych consisting of the following works created within the framework of the Europe Beyond Access program, which aims to bring to the forefront of the European cultural scene performing arts artists with disability.
The performance takes the personal stories of its performers as its starting point and, specifically, the points where their various paths converged. The aim was not to relive these stories or to describe them, but rather to use them as elements of a bodily identity that drives them on stage so as to map out their presence in the space. This is fashioned on stage through the use of the square, an absolutely defined shape that signifies both precision and logic. A square constantly reformed to hold stories, to embrace bodies, and to create in the present: The square as a shape that remains constant while everything changes, bodies mature, and time flows by.
