“God’s particle” by ki omOs kineitai dance company based on texts by D. Apostolakis

^{In July 4th 2012, CERN scientists confirmed the discovery of a new particle having mass of 126,5 GeV with a deviation of 5 sigma, which means certainty of 99,99995% and that the specific observation is verifiable and able to be anytime repeatable. This particle is assumed to be boson and particularly the heaviest ever found. It is assumed that the new particle has characteristics similar to the Higgs boson ones, with a reservation, until it is proved it carries indeed the remaining ones,
theoretically, predictable characteristics of it.}

The performance is at the same time a discourse of increasing entropy and involvement by D. Apostolakis, who has participated at CERN, as researcher, scholar of the University of Crete, particularly at the specific research field of the Higgs Boson.

Aim of the company is the narration of this primeval tale for the universe’s creation, in its today’s form, the way science narrates it with these odd terms, like the big bang, the standard model, the super symmetry, the bosons and the fermions, the antimatter, the Grand Unified Theory, the dark energy and matter, the black holes.

In a three-dimensional set space, utilizing the help of the image and the sound, the company attempts to
comprehend and make comprehensible all these huge and minimal, tremendous occurrences, which set us, the human beings, in the middle of an inconceivable scale, constantly aspiring, setting particles to collide in light speed, in order to slightly arrange universe.

The 7 performers (dancers and acrobats) develop a dialectic relationship with this parade of notions and reasoning, which ranges between the visualisation, the more and more increasing sense of the small human
scale, within this extravagant and manifold universe as well as the inexhaustible braveness of the human being, regarding his perpetual research, by any means he has, in order to understand who we are, how
all this was made up and what ever we are going to become of.
