Elizabeth

Ioanna Portolou | Griffon Dance Company 04-06 April 2019 Megaron - The Athens Concert Hall

In a subversive and playful manner, dwelling upon the anatomy of human psychology, the choreographer studies the mechanisms of the creation of meaning for the world around us, drawing inspiration from an emblematic historical figure, Queen Elizabeth I.

‘Are we ever free of meaning? Or are we constantly radiating it from the moment that we are born?’

This performance, staged with the support of the Ministry of Culture and Sports (2018-19), is the outcome of a process during which interscientific and intersectoral research is encouraged by the choreographer and the dance group.
