[Action] 8 - Singularity
Premier: 20.03.2010 Duration: 45 minutes...We lean forward – we the audience – physically forward, for the fervent rotation of the dancers creates gravity. We take control of ourselves, we straighten up, we lean forward again and thus the performance exercises its influence on us right to the end...

Through the [actions] series, the choreographer, Maria Koliopoulou, has been crystallising her choreographic intent and ways in which she pproaches dance compositions. She seeks to create open works that invite audience participation. The stage area takes the form of an installation, revealing eclectic links to the visual arts.
[action] 8 - Singularity is a duet on the constant shifting of states of the individual searching for their "own branch of the inviolate".
The work has been successfully presented at the 2nd Festival of contemporary dance in Serres, at the Duncan Theatre in Prague and at the Athens & Epidaurus Festival.
