REMEMBERING BODIES
Remembering Bodies is inspired by the body as a tool for memorising images, moments and situations. It focuses on the body’s ability to remember and its power to imprint memories on other bodies. A kinetic work that examines the allure of memory as it directly and indirectly influences the way in which the body stands, evolves, exists and co-exists within a social context.
Admission to all Kalamata Main Square performances and side events is free for all.
