[Taal In] [Taal Out]

Presented at
On Off Studio, Athens & Audiovisual Arts Festival Corfu
Date
2022-2023

Conceived for either a solo performer (May 2023) or a duo (December 2022–January 2023), this dance performance with live electronics initiates a dialogue between contemporary dance, classical Indian dance, and digital algorithmic processes.

Seeking to explore notions of time and rhythm from kinetic, mathematical, and poetic perspectives, the work develops a choreographic language that is methodically systematized to guide the performers’ movements. Durations, directions, steps, and hand combinations are precisely scored, raising the question of freedom within predetermined patterns and searching for a space between the inner and outer modes of being where freedom might emerge.

Further elaborating his Embodied Sound Dramaturgy technique, Emmanouel Rovithis treats the performers’ voices as sonic entities moving through acoustic space; oscillating between confrontation and agreement, shaping conceptual polarities that open a field of kinetic possibilities.

The intense musicality also contributes to this harmonious mix (excellent musical composition and sound design by Emmanouel Rovithis) which "binds" with Aris Biniaris' directorial perspective and subsequently imbues the acting of his actors with rhythm in speech, breaths and their body."
