Realistic & Abstract

Petros & Konstantinos Sofikitis, reexamine and reinterpret the performance by Tasos Bekiaris. Each one of them with his own and individual view. Both of them inspired by the performance, having the opportunity to be present at the rehearsals, approach the performance depicting each one of them a new view, attempting to examine and illustrate the notions stated by the Choreographer and the writer, Christina Mitropoulou.

The humanistic approach by Konstantinos aims to illustrate the concentration, the pain, the despair but mainly the relief that comes in the end, following the effort. Every move, at any time, is ready to be depicted by the camera of Konstantinos, capturing time, offering to us the opportunity to be transcended at the rehearsals and to feel at least for some seconds the dancers’ pulse. Dancers in harmony whether they move or they stand still.

On the other hand his brother, Petros, with his abstract style. Time does not exist. Electric senses. The movement, the pain, the despair, the anxiety last. Pictures that make you imagine that you are there from the beginning to the end, images that transfer you and allow you to scream, to dance, to be expressed as if you were on the stage. Dancers depicted like airy sculptures. Black-white pictures with intense presence of red in motion. Motion that depending on the point of view and the personal perception sometimes pulls you backwards and other times push you to the front.

Images that derive forcefulness from the motion as well as a motion that derives intensity from the images.
