Description

New work by Harry Koushos - Archetypa

Harry Koushos is a dance artist from Cyprus based in Athens. At the age of 22 he began creating his own choreographic and video-dance work which has been presented since at festivals across Europe. He conceives his creations in a dialogue with different media as well as art forms and is interested in the interaction between latest technologies and primal materials.

In his new work man and myth communicate in the language of theater artifice.

In constant flow from chaos to symmetry and again, five dancers create ever-changing archetypal images with their bodies, they touch common memories of humanity. In their journey through uniqueness and multitude, they recall familiar though somehow forgotten configurations. Blueprints are repeated, abandoned, questioned, varied. Primordial forms, well preserved within the collective unconscious, reflect upon the primal matter. Time and space are not given, they are being designed anew with light and sound and movement.
