Dan Canham – Still House (UK)
Milena Ugren Koulas (CY)
30 Cecil Street - 25 mins
Manlike - 35 mins
The Limerick Athenaeum at 30 Cecil Street is a building
with a history that stretches back over 150 years. Within
that time it has served as an art college, a bingo hall and
everything in-between.
Manlike is inspired by the stories of women who had to
become men. The ‘sworn virgins’ of the Western Balkans
took vows of chastity, dressed and lived like men in order to
avoid the harsh treatment that women usually experienced
Closed to the public for the last 17 years, the insides have
slowly started to crumble and rot; original tickets from club
nights in 1998 and random keys to doors that are no longer
in use have been left to fade and rust.
Milena Ugren’s movement style is incredibly evocative dramatic, terse, based on tense isolations of different parts
of her body interspersed with moments of release. Coupled
with Koulas’ vocal percussion, she creates a quietly violent
and subversive duet that raises stark questions about
gender.
What you see tonight is a sincere bid on my behalf to make
alive the spirit of a building that now lies empty. What you
hear are sounds associated with the building’s history and
the voices of people who once worked or frequented there

Aerowaves Encore - FIELD - 40 mins
Aerowaves Encore - Conditions of Being a Mortal
Movements I & III - 42 mins
Three bodies. One field. The 100 best love songs. They long
for something to happen, for some explosion. They fight
fiercely for love, for affection, for recognition. Startlingly
athletic and dynamic, this trio is a battlefield. Limbs tangle
like tentacles, as the dancers cling to and struggle with
each other. But is it just a frenzy signifying nothing? The
more they are together, the more they feel alone.
Full of operatic melodrama, Conditions of Being a Mortal
opens a window to the subconcious of four characters. It
is a wildly physical work that explodes in a tangle of bodies
and heightened emotions. Robust humour, splinters of
sexuality, arias of impulsive gasps and full-blown shrieking
arguments are rarely far away. Sensual, athletic movement
abounds in a quartet that offers a colourful and raucous
triumph over dull urban reality.

Time Takes The Time Time Takes
Time Takes The Time Time Takes is a physical dynamic
conversation through movement, repetition and pendulum
leitmotiv that embodies mechanisms measuring time
and space. A journey of dangling movements that burst
into different encounters evolving towards perpetual
motion. TTTTTT considers time as a continuum – and as a
perceptual experience. Through metric measurements and
the exploration of oscillations and rhythm, we contemplate
time as an eternal present rooted in materials and forms.

This work will be presented in its full length at Mercat de les
Flors in autumn 2015.

Euripides Laskaridis (GR)
Vilma Pitrinaite – We Compagnie (LT)
Relic - 35 mins
Miss Lithuania - 40 mins
In a makeshift room, decorated in a haphazard DIY fashion,
a performer puts his notably awkwardly shaped body under
the magnifying glass. Magic comes from the mundane and
references to cabaret, vaudeville and slapstick abound.
The performance invites you to cheer on Miss Lithuania as
she goes through the stages of the Miss World contest:
Traditional Dances, Beauty with a Purpose, Interview,
Performing Talent, Bikini Contest. At first glance she is an
idealistic girl, armed with national pride and conviction.
But isn’t her authenticity a product of pop culture? As the
contest proceeds, Miss Lithuania becomes entangled
between her conditioned desire to represent her country, to
be a role model, and her instinctive quest for liberation from
conformity.

Greek artist Euripides Laskaridis is preoccupied by ideas
about transformation and ridicule. By testing the limits

Meytal Blanaru (BE)
Giorgia Nardin (IT)
Aurora - 15 mins
All dressed up with nowhere to go - 35 mins
In this refined and honest solo, Meytal Blanaru searches
for a raw place. She asks – how much of who we are
comes from within us, and how much is carved by
society’s norms? Delving deeper into these questions,
she was inspired by stories of feral children, many of
whom developed unique ways of moving and expressing
themselves while in isolation. This piece is dedicated to
Genie, whose remarkable resilience captured the hearts
of many. In another life she could have been anything she
wanted.
A man and a woman are dressed in nothing but neatly
tailored shirts. Side by side, they fold cuffs, collars –
making gestures as if idly passing time on the street.
Slowly, they react to a gradual loss of balance and try
to avoid falling. Bathed in soft light, this mesmerising
and gentle duet hovers between concrete reality and
abstraction. It casts a spell that gradually fills the stage –
and the body reacts to all this.

BAKKHEIA – dancing on the edge - 40 mins
Three dancers teeter on the edge. They are close to
each other, sometimes touching - but you can feel their
loneliness. They try to communicate but don’t connect.
You might laugh at how absurd their attempts are. Music
by Bach and The Knife drives their disjointed and pulsating
movements to greater intensity. Sweat drips, their human
instinct to reach out becomes more urgent. BAKKHEIA
makes space for us to think about how connected to each
other we actually are.

Heretics - 40 mins
Hu(r)mano - 40 mins
Heretics invites us into a modern ritual for two dancers,
with live piano as a third partner. Everything about the
piece is based on triangles. From a simple beginning, the
mechanical, geometric gestures become enthralling to
watch. The rhythm drives the dancers on as they push the
limits of their memories and physical endurance. Heretics
sparks thoughts about our relentless pursuit of efficiency
and profitability in this obsessive, but also meditative trio.
Using urban dance as its main movement style, Hu(r)mano
creates a world of ever-shifting relationships between
its four dancers. There is a tension between the ‘human
me’ and ‘urban we’: an echo of urban reality brought
to life in the performance. The dancers’ fluent popping
exposes beauty, awkwardness, connection and alienation.
Expressive depths are opened up in an otherwise abstract
and bare world and we connect with the individual
characters and moods of the dancers.

Jordjenta (Soilgirl) - 40 mins

Secret rooms and the dark side of the human mind inspire
this visually arresting trio. Three young women look
for something tangible and real. They create a world as
disturbing as it is funny. Jordjenta launches itself onto the
stage with gale-force energy and a lust for experimental
tearing-it-up. Death is the most normal thing that could
happen.
As we enter the space for FOG there is already hypnotic
music playing. We can guess that there’s a wall in the
background or maybe a smaller stage than usual. When
the lights go down on our side, another space is revealed.
Behind the wall four dancers move speedily, virtuosically.
Their dancing is at times mechanical, at times lustful.
Someone seems to have pressed the fast forward button.
They are half naked. And then...

Idiot-Syncrasy - 40 mins
When two men take the Y out of irony, all they are left with is
iron. Alexander Deutinger & Alexander Gottfarb, in full body
armour, question the prevalence of knightly valour and
blood-spattered fantasy in TV and gaming. No horse, no
damsels, no enemies –how can they keep up their medieval
ideals of morals and manliness now? Must chivalry come to
a clanking halt?
We started with wanting to change the world with a
performance. We felt like idiots. Then we danced a lot. We
jumped. We called on the folk traditions of Sardinia and
the Basque Country. We sang. We jumped some more. We
committed. Now we promise to stick together. We promise
to persevere. We promise to do our best.

lost and reappear, blend into and separate from each other.
Familiar and unknown images in the flesh.
www.aerowaves.org
In movement, the body is reclaimed, and the flesh
becomes a place of struggle and reconciliation
between human nature and animal instinct. Flesh is a
duet of volatile and fleeting realities that seduces and
mesmerises.

Aerowaves Encore - Lowland - 40 mins
M.E.N - 40 mins
Fascinated by the migrations of birds, we want to learn
to fly. Lowland returns us to the animality of the body and
movement, to learning, effort, tenacity and endurance,
to beauty, the spirit of self-improvement and the spirit of
freedom. To leave or to put down roots? Lowland is each
individual’s landscape and journey. We can only fly with our
bodies and we will need inventiveness and imagination in
order to get a pair of wings. An imaginary world of birds and
men, full of light and vitality in the lowland.
M.E.N grabs life by the balls. Balancing humour and
seriousness, with a healthy dose of irony, four male dancers
raid the lives of modern men to give us a fresh and sensitive
take on male identity. Packed with energy, fragility, passion
and beauty, M.E.N exposes inner worlds and outer conflicts
in this honest and athletic piece.

MONO - 40 mins
BOKKO – the ultimate fusion - 20 mins
MONO is a turquoise cartoon filled with figures meeting
their own chaos. The performance is a research on
variation, multiplicity and virtuosity. The physical language
flirts with vocabulary from animated films and ideas of
heroes and antiheroes. MONO draws on a myriad of dance
styles, cultural and political gestures, and mixes humour
with seriousness and reinvented meanings. Zapping
through images and situations, MONO uncovers blurry
realities and absurd fantasies.
Fast, furious and fun – enter a world where Karel and Vanja
are Bokko kings. Sharp routines and sharp suits. Screaming
fans and Manga-inspired avatars. They have it all. Empty
fantasy is dressed up with explosive visuals. Inspired by a
South Korean dance craze, this show is breathless and allconsuming. Step inside.
