Performer Frosso Zagoreou continues her exploration of the concepts of pause, movement and stillness, focusing this time on the notion of weight and balance. <\/span><\/p>\n

She observes how thinking is altered by the weight that a body bears at any given time.<\/p>\n

She wonders how much each word weighs. Or how breathing is affected by the weight on one\u2019s chest, the weight on one\u2019s neck or the weight on one\u2019s back. <\/span><\/p>\n

Since her homeland is made of stone, her inspiration is drawn from stone. This ancient life that has senses and yet also appeals to the senses. \u201cHail O stone that givest drink to those who thirst for life\u201d we hear in the Akathist Hymn.<\/span><\/p>\n

She listens every time carefully to the stone as a word and its arrangement in dry stone as a fiction.<\/p>\n

Maria Tsima\u2019s text \u201cStone Fences\u201d, heard during the performance, opens paths on the body and beyond, which lead to a peculiar dance that seeks to retrieve something of the warmth in the depths of earth and memory. <\/span><\/p>\n
