Experiencing Interruptions?

FURY

The Furies were earthly deities of vengeance, directly connected to the dark power of the earth that cries out for injustice, oppression, suffering. They are goddesses of rebellion, struggling to find a way out.

Following in the footsteps of Isadora Duncan, FURY embodies the rage and need for Freedom in a world marching full speed towards self-destruction. The dancer wrestles with personal shadows as well as those of the collective unconscious, plunging with them into darkness, searching for the strength of the soul to emerge into the light.

Guided by the lyrics of Bob Marley's "WAR", the performance becomes a physical and poetic monologue that explores the tragedy of Man today. The question is whether in this current Tragedy, the one without End (Purpose), Mercy and Purification, the "Deus ex Machina" will come.

Will the cry of Fury - Woman - Earth finally become Eumenida (the “gracious one”) - Libera?

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 five 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.

Director Statement

I am an interdisciplinary artist experimenting with body movement, film, theatre, poetry, intuitive writing, meditation and meditative dance. My background is in theatre studies, classical music and singing, and Isadora Duncan dance technique. Through yoga practice, butoh and indigenous dances, I later found a vast field of sound and body experimentation, exploring the primitive, conceptual sounds and freedom of movement within a meditative state of artistic expression. My vision is to bring Theatre and the Arts back to nature, discovering new dynamics and a sense of rebirth. I believe in the soul and its limitless horizons. I believe in the non - at - all - perfect Human and our potential for true love and compassion. What always moves me is the desire to resist brutal insanity and an endless hope that people will someday feel their power.
