PHENOMENA
GEORGIA VARDAROU
Last updated : 05/09/2012PRINT THIS PAGEOutline
A main theme in Phenomena is that the performance is meaningless unless a person makes personal commitments that give it meaning.
[Paraphrased quote from the Wikipedia article ‘Nausea (novel)’:
'La Nausée' is replaced by the word ‘Phenomena’ and 'life' by ‘the performance’.]
The foundations of this performance lay in the process of focusing on each of the dancer’s individual way of moving. Following the solo ‘Hardcore Research on Dance’, the first group piece of Georgia Vardarou will also be purely shaped by what appears on stage. There is no central subject in ‘Phenomena’, instead events appear and create the context of the piece.
Phenomena are humanly provoked events, moments of tiny contents that surface, outbursts of statements, emptiness, reactions and enhancements of a narrative that is turbulently being shaped. The only frame is the theatrical space, the rest is the urge for making sense out of situations of absurdity.
