Place de l’Esplanade
Thursday May 7, from noon to 1:30 p.m.
Noon to 1:30 p.m.: a performance of One One One!
Cie Project 11, Ioannis Mandafounis
With One One One!, Ioannis Mandafounis has put together a choreographic project that explores the tensions between what shows on the outside and the what is felt inside. For those watching, this translates into a troubling, yet inquisitive and enlightening experience. The dancers stand face to face with members of the audience, staring into their eyes to draw in their attention. The goal: to absorb the audience’s emotions, and to translate and transform them into dance. The resulting performance expresses a sequence of profound emotions, passing through a broad spectrum of mental states.
Concept: Ioannis Mandafounis
Choreography and dance: Ioannis Mandafounis and Aoife McAtamne
