TO BE POSSESSED premiered in Athens, at the ONASSIS DANCE DAYS in March 2023.

Chara Kotsali’s 2023 dance solo is a rehearsal of demonic rituals. It premiered in March 2023 during Onassis Dance Days. In “to be possessed”, she summons spirits that haunt our language, our scriptures, our knowledge, our minds, and the material world itself.
By exploring women’s testimonies from different cultural contexts, Kotsali lets herself become a mouthpiece for these stories about demons, exorcism and the invocation of spirits. Doing so, she presents a moving body that is forever outside the self, a form of experience that calls into question the self-sufficiency and autonomy of the individual woman.
“to be possessed” experiments with the creation of rituals of remembrance and the stirring of the multiple voices that dwell within us. Kotsali indulges in the demonic as she attempts to animate the phenomena she encounters, inviting them to reveal their overwhelming yet subversive character.

Within a feminist and empowering approach, the theatrical dance piece I(CE) (S)CREAM Boléro Femme, choreographed by Jill Crovisier, is a rhythmic and personal journey of a female identifying performer who slowly finds her inner voice in her own territory, her individual adaptation to the tensions of our contemporary world. Compared to the circle of life the roller skates become a symbol for the fast progress in our lives, the uncertainty and instability it brings with it but stands also for control and persistence. The performer will take you on a powerful and bitter sweet ride on Ravel's masterpiece.

With the support of the European Union through “Culture Moves Europe” program and the support of DRAC- Ile de France (aide au projet).

In The One who leaves is not gone, Thalia Pigier travels through space and time, through History and personal stories. She takes us from Jerusalem to Rio de Janeiro, via El Dorado. On stage, paper airplanes draw an intimate cartography, where family anecdotes and scientific fun facts intertwine. The piece is built on a hyperlink’s dramaturgy, working like a Wikipedia page, jumping from one blue word to the next one, leaving all the tabs opened for the audience to weave them as they wish.
What’s left from the places we’ve been and the people we’ve met ? What remains of the starting point as we move through the world?
What is this dance that I dance?
Embracing the topics of cultural legacy, body’s memory and the rewriting of our personal memories, Thalia Pigier creates an accessible dance piece accompanied on stage by the musician Suzanne Seiller.

 With the support of Institut Français Italia.

ATTENTION! SHOW CANCELED DUE TO EXTRA-EUROPEAN TRANSFER PROBLEMS

Co-production - National premiere

The source of inspiration for this work is bringing the past with the future in the current present. Practicing traditional folklore through digital media. Gathering the participants through the Palestinian Dabke and its music. The common rhythm and harmony create a space of celebration, individuality and vulnerability. Bouncing, shaking and grooving together, holding space one for another, releasing energy and moving it in a circle tribal shape. This is an individual but yet collective invitation to dream and manifest oneness, to merge with time, gender, language and ethnicity.

Nur Garabli was born and educated in Jaffa, Occupied Palestine on 1996. Nur is an Artivist, Choreographer and Dancer, She practices contemporary Palestinian dabke and brings to this practice social, political, on-stage and off-stage expressions. Nur has a B.Ed. in dance and education from the School of Dance Arts, Kibbutzim College. She is the co-founder of “Moving Together” project, together with the artist, Yasmeen Godder, where she teaches Palestinian dabke & brings together women of all ages, communities, and cultures. Garabli has curated and functioned as the artistic director of the “Moving Together” festival in March 2022 and 2023 together with Godder; she continues working to promote local art and culture within the Palestinian-Arab community in her homeland.
