Costumes for ‘Performing Arts’

We are very happy to have contributed in Athanasia Kanellopoulou’s latest choreographic work, “Two — Matters of Existence”. The work premiered at the Kalamata International Dance Festival in July 2024. Special thanks to Vassiana Skopetea for the collaboration on the show’s costumes.

A few words about the show:  the piece endeavors to capture the deeply personal and often silent facets of the human condition.Centered around a dual female persona, Two — Matters of Existence explores the convergence of two sacred yet transient forms into a singular entity. Within this duality lies a complexity of concerns and desires, as two formidable performers intertwine in a realm of dreams and fantasies, their whispers unintelligible yet laden with significance. Their relationship is one of existential depth, characterized by harmony, complicity, power, and imposition.As they navigate the depths of their inner worlds, these performers engage in a relentless pursuit, clashing, loving, and exhausting their powers in search of their true essence. Their journey unfolds amidst the predetermined constructs of space and time, which they themselves shape and define.Through a poetic transition from the unconscious mind to the conscious realm, the piece offers a cinematic narrative that oscillates between linear storytelling and abstract reflection. It delves into the intricacies of desires, impulses, and fears, drawing upon body memory, dreams, and the essence of the female form.
