Experiencing Interruptions?

BLUE

BLUE is a SURrEalistic audiovisual essay in 2 acts, shot on a mobile phone. It is inspired by summer love and the problematic communication that sometimes happens between foreign lovers. In an attempt to overcome borders and barriers, the second part contains conceptual poetry, 80% of which are words of Greek origin, proving that it is easier to understand or speak Greek than you probably think.

Director Biography - Alkistis Voulgari

Alkistis Voulgari was born in Athens, Greece. She is an actress and dancer, specialising in the dance technique of Isadora Duncan.

For the last three years she has been experimenting with her own film and performance creations, incorporating theatre, poetry, literature, dance and radio art.

Her work has been presented internationally.

She is gradually visualising and working on the reconnection of theatre with its natural roots through improvisation and exploration of the primitive idea in an open natural space where the film camera becomes the 'director's eye' and an eternal narrative of theatrical, performative, human and life experience.

BLUE was shot this summer on the way to Serbia and while returning from Karystos, Evia. I saw the blue sky and the blue sea and then I remembered this research ~ poem that I wrote around 2020, collecting and matching words that have Greek roots. Et voilà !
