Culture and the Rialto theatre since 2001, while the performances of Dance Throughout the Year -an initiative of Dance House Lemesos-are part of the festival’s programme since 2008.

Since 2017 Dance House Lemesos collaborates with Blast Collective for the project Blast from the Past: a retrospective to the fuure, as part fo the artistic programme of Dance Throughout the Year.

It is with great pleasure that the Dance House Lemesos announces the programme for the Dance Platform’s parallel events DANCE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR 2020 that is been orginised by Cultural Services of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports and Youth , Rialto Theatre and Dance House Lemesos. Dance Throughout the Year aims to adjoin the Cyprus Contemporary Dance Platform 2020 programme (6-8 of November).

Projects / Artists:

18:00-18:20
Growing Static
Choreography: Elisavet Panagiotou
Music: Vassilis Philippou

To wait is to expect and to anticipate, sometimes the known, sometimes the unknown. In this work, we are in search of the ways we distract ourselves while waiting. Do we trick ourselves away from time or are we tricked by time? In waiting, the borders between past and future can blur, hiding the present and eliminating the lines between the real and the unreal.
Estragon: I tell you we weren’t here yesterday (…)
(Waiting for Godot, Samuel Beckett)

18:20-18:40
Choice
Choreography: Zoe Eleftheriou

Why do we still wear invisible masks? Can a mask of money, muscles or makeup, ever truly cover our skin? At some point the mask will crack.
At the end, we are all humans.

18:40-19:00
«Απο-Κάλυψη»
Presentation: Avgoustina Stylianou

At the Performance: “ΑΠΟ-Κάλυψη” (Un-Covering), you will witness a journey towards self-acceptance and the acceptance of diversity. Through this immersive experience and the performer’s continuous research, you will also come in contact with your true self.

19:00-19:20
Biophony
Choreography: Maria Gerasimou
Performers: Maria Gerasimou / Evangelia Lamprou

Biophony [Bio (Life) + Phon (Sound)].
This idea is inspired by nature, animals, humanity and their melody. In what ways two dancers can become? Trust, feel each other and let themselves go. They become the melody of a bird that is the music of the soul. These two voices, these two bodies think beyond their ego.
They breathe and move as ‘One’.
