The choreographer and dancer, Dimitris Mytilinaios, presents his new work “INSEQS- INORGANIC SEQUENCES” in a former car showroom for four performances (December 1-4, 21:00). INSEQS is a remnant of a classic choreographic composition that attempts to highlight the beauty of embarrassment.
The group, consisting of five dancers, a karate teacher who sometimes dances and four musicians, orchestrates a seemingly classical technique and vocabulary – which, while playing in terms of a variety
show, tries to articulate a peculiar stage language.
The work borrows the structure of a classical dance class lesson and unfolds in successive acts. Each act has its own world; each of the performers raises its own cross. Ballet hides behind everything. Rita
Mosss’s noise-punk music -specially written for the show- accompanies the dancers and exposes their agitation, adapting patterns from the classical repertoire and scores for ballet exercises.
By presenting a series of “ill-treated” exercises performed in front of an audience, (assuming that a lesson is the first choreography performed and therefore the archetype for each choreography), the work examines the pile of encrypted information that make up the dance body and the types of look it invites.
