This work involves collaboration between contemporary dance and original music and it is inspired by images and emotions emerging from the texts of well-known authors and poets (Sotiriou, Venezis, Seferis, Hemingway, and others) who wrote about the Asia Minor Catastrophe.
The despair, sorrow, terror, pain and the struggle for survival and inclusion of the Asia Minor refugees are dramatised through contemporary dance choreographies, which are enriched with contemporary music compositions and songs interlacing electronic soundscapes with Asia Minor music scales and rhythms. The lyrics of the songs are inspired by images and emotions emerging from the texts.
The goal of this work is to highlight the ability of the Asia Minor refugees to transform pain and sorrow into art.
