MARIA FOUNTOULI
TRANSPARENT
I wonder “why do I keep dancing?”, “what do I feel when I dance?”. I feel transparent, sensitized and exposed to what is happening in the moment. And in this vulnerability, I feel incredibly strong.
A dance solo about the power of fragility. The personal journey of a body that converses with the given space. It will take many forms, it will confront its own shame, it will try, it will fail, it will find pleasure.
Will it endure?
Admission to all Kalamata Main Square performances and side events is free for all.
