A poetic, sensuous, dynamic and sacramental exploration of love beyond time. In this haunting contemporary solo performance, Juliet exists in liminal space after Romeo's death, her body searching for meaning in a world that questions the very nature of transformative passion.
From the acclaimed contemporary Greek play by Akis Dimou, this post-dramatic work weaves together Butoh movement, physical theatre, dance theatre, prose and diverse musical soundscapes. The performer moves fluidly between artistic languages rather than inhabiting a fixed character role.
This ritualistic exploration re-imagines love for our contemporary reality, challenging conventional theatrical boundaries through hybrid movement traditions and vocal textures. The performance deliberately occupies liminal space—neither purely traditional nor modern, neither entirely Greek nor universal.
Performed in Greek with English surtitles, this visceral journey offers audiences a transformative experience that blurs the lines between performer and archetype, classical wisdom and contemporary questioning.
