Following Landless, a solo piece presented at the second edition of the Lugano Dance Project, Christos Papadopoulos returns to the LAC with My Fierce Ignorant Step, an intimate and personal work inspired by the choreographer’s childhood memories of sound, as well as by collective experiences that bind many Greeks to the fate of their country.
A performance that celebrates the euphoria of being alive. Ten dancers bring to life an ecstatic soundscape from which the choreography emerges. Memories and sounds, voices and bodies: everything resonates like a musical instrument, gradually building a sense of shared elation.
The Greek choreographer’s new work, essential and rigorous, explores the moment when movement becomes song; a song in which the dancers’ bodies vibrate and, through them, those of the audience may also resonate.
A new, luminous and expansive work, capable of enchanting, which speaks of first times: of our encounters, of laughter, of the discovery of life, as well as of our beginnings, intense and passionate.
On stage, a collective body pulses and advances, its gaze open to what is to come.
Breath becomes voice and guides the movement – at times expansive, at times minimal, but always decisive, almost light. The bodies breathe; the breaths become sound, then voice and gesture: a gallop that grows without ceasing.
