Before Now After is an interdisciplinary project bringing together contemporary dance, traditional live music, oral history, documentary film and photography.

Through a contemporary journey on the island of Leros, the project creates movement while focusing on the meeting with “the other” body (that of the local population, the co-creator, the place, the object) and a dialogue across the collective past, present and future.

The project explores the excavation of the past as an opportunity to listen through the body and to meet with opinions and events of another era. A chance to converse through art with the local community, to set in motion different ways of relating to our history and exploring the collective undertaking of shaping our future.
