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.

Director Statement

In the summes I like to wonder in nature with "La Piedra de Sol" by Octavio Paz. This film is part of my memories. That is why it has no titles and no real ending.
