All things are quite silent
A creative research on a solo dance performance by Andonis Foniadakis based oh his own personal journey as a dancer and a choreographer.It is focused on his unique artistry of human kinetics and his choreographic and visual aesthetic. The performance is structured by three mains sections that marked the passage from the external to the internal, the mystical universe of the subconscious and finally it climaxes on the personal utopia of the creator/ performer.The music plays the part of an underground companion and the visual set up and art direction of the play are co-existing for the creation of an imaginary landscape where transformation mirroring and surrealism are producing a demanding but informative glance of human adaptability. Created and premiered in a residency at Dock 11 in Berlin this creation of Andonis Foniadakis has been presented at Maison De la Danse in Lyon France 2009, at CAP Ettelbruck in Luxembourg 2009, and at Michael Cacoyannis Foundation in Athens Greece 2010.

The committed artist
In all the arts and here especially in dance, the artist sometimes creates to defend a cause, to denounce a fact, to disturb, to shock. Here is a panorama of some "committed" choreographic creations.
