Dance Perfomance: ma crise dans ta crise (2 cameras)

MA CRISE DANS TA CRISE - 2011

Inspired by the generalised 'crisis' of our times, dancer and choreographer Georgia Petrali drew inspiration from this collective phenomenon, transforming it into a performance this Autumn 2011.

Through a dialogue between dance video and selected scenes from various works prepared by the Fysalida Dance Company, combined with a live musical-theatrical presentation worked up by Emmanouel Sgouridis, Georgia Petrali has created the dance theatre piece "Ma Crise dans Ta Crise" ("my crisis in your crisis").

The stars of this show are divided passions and desires, day-to-day fears and dreams from those dark corners of our soul and mind that are so difficult to embrace and conquer.

In this potpourri of moods, our need for dreams, for love is vital, physical need, an undoubted form of redemption when viewed from the perspective of how we were 'before' and 'after'.

The intense, spasmodic movements of the dancer at the high point of the show are nothing more than man's struggle to release himself from the previous situation and move to the next one. This is a physiological, organic development, like that of an insect metamorphosing from larva to nymph. This condition may exist in every moment just like every moment contains within it death and life. Light and darkness.

"What impresses me about the 'crisis' is that as various situations approach their 'peak', the need for transformation becomes increasingly a search for the authentic, the integral, the whole; a search for the truth.
The hope that the caterpillar will become a butterfly.
That darkness will become light.
That corruption will resolve into catharsis.
all, that feelings become a necessity and hope becomes a traveller on the path with us".
