Veritas

Ioanna Portolou | Griffon Dance Company 01-02 & 07-08 June 2024 Plyfa Space Athens

What is the truth? Exists; And if so, who knows her? Can one truth be truer than another?

Challenging that truth what we call reality, which is always related to the world it reveals, the work explores precisely what is not seen, what is not confessed, what is hidden and not said. If things are not exactly as they appear to us, this is probably because the truth can be scary, grand, monstrous, unpredictable. Nevertheless, it lives with us all the time, it accompanies us well hidden in the bowels of our being. Have we managed to hear her? It is enough for someone to whisper it to us.

Through a dense sequence of associative images and imposing music, the performance "Veritas" brings us face to face with our own personal truth.
