Instar

A duet on female identity

The premiere of the work Instar in Athens, on 12th March 2020, a production of Prosxima Dance Company, choreographed by Maria Koliopoulou, coincided with the lockdown measurements for the arts and not only, in Greece, amid Covid-19. 

The work is a duet on female identity. Two women explore their dyadic relationship by approaching with humor and sensitivity issues on power, hierarchy, inclusion and exclusion. The performance meets the vague boundaries between dressed and naked body through a penetrating look which allows its differences to be seen.
