Once There Was A Forest (2021)

How does my body remember nature?

​

How deep is its imprint on my existence?

​

How do I surrender to a world of constant change?

​

Plastic, charcoal, ice, stone, skull... in what ways these materials speak about our world today?

Three performers on stage, using materials, movement and sound, create the ever-changing landscape of a fragile world, while tapping into our memory of its past and our imagination of its future.

​

A performance by dance artist Konstantina Skalionta in collaboration with dramaturg Rodia Vomvolou, dance artist Belinda Papavasileiou, composer Dimitris Savva.
