POETRY BY DEMOSTHENES DAWETAS
Nous étions tristes ce
soir
une gerbe
d'horreur ancrée
dans la sauvagerie de la
terre
l'un attendait la main
de celui qui
aurait osé
l'inavouable
l'autre le calme dans le
recoin de l'amertume.
Et c'était - je le jure
-
ce clin de vent froid
la solitude
qui circulait entre nous.
Tant que dure le souvenir de ce
poème à venir j'écrirai.
Aux moments de
la fécondation
du silence chaque voix
sonne
comme un blasphème.
La langue pense
dans
l'erotique bercement du corps.
Le corps
aime, et
la pensée engendre...
lot le matin avec
le vent froid arrivent
les odeurs des
traumatismes
glacés de la nuit
dernière.
Je t'aime... je te vole
au silence céleste... foudre
de surprise.

The other side
Twice, Thrise
Thrice, twice
The client dies
In the cemetery
Of the tribes
Twice, thrice
Throwing dice
In the cemetery
Of the tribes
The client dies
Wandering souls
The dead shake the dust
from their shoes
and die.
Men and women
lined the graveyard.
Whores flash and
children cry.
Gates of heaven
have no locks or ties
but the children cry...
cry and cry.
With no hands they knock
and knock -ock-ock... and
cry...
... wandering souls.
An old man has died,
a child was born...
...screaming of a child.

CHOREFTES dance company

RUBRIC
Maternity provides so often
an
exceptional means to certain women to take vengeance on their nature, on their
body and on their mother, since they consider the child extension of their
body, just as their mother did for them. In these cases, the uterus in is the gate
to inside.
It is also the gate
that certain men can touch upon, those that can wear out and ache, repeating
the same movement, that of the maternal power, redefining the roles.
This is a generations’
game.
The Dance Company
"CHOREFTES" was founded in 1993 by choreographers and dance teachers Maria Anthymidou, Aliki Kazouri and Michalis Nalbantis.
Since then, they
have presented 15 productions.
The aim of the dancers, musicians and costume designers who work
with company is to promote the art of dance in Greece. In an effort to expand
beyond the limits of the contemporary dance scene in Greece, the company has
participated in many international projects.
In the past few years,
CHOREFTES are exploring the relationship between dance and new technologies.
Their innovative productions have opened up new ways of expression in the field
of contemporary dance.
http://www.dancers.gr/files_en
Makis Faros was born in Athens in 1967. His studies include
film direction, video, computer graphics and electronic music composition. He
has been teaching film and video theory at Focus School of Photography and
Digital Arts since 1995. He also teaches as an external associate, video
technology and editing at the Master Program “Digital Arts” of the Athens
University of Fine Arts.
He is also the audiovisual consultant at the Greek National
Museum of Contemporary Art (Fix)
In 1999 he directed “Video Gallery” a TV magazine production
about video art, which has been released at National Television. He has
participated with the Dancing Company “CHOREFTES” as a video artist and
director in various projects.
As a member of musicals groups (this fluid, raw, spiders
web) he is composing and playing music for stage shows, theatrical plays and
video installations.
