Remember, Body...

The screen-dance “Remember, Body…” was directed and performed by the choreographer Konstantina Ntinapogia with the cooperation of the music band Lost Bodies. This video dance is an “embodiment” of the poem by the great 20th-Century Greek poet Constantine P.Cavafy. It presents the body's attempt to remember those desires it was eager to experience but some fortuitous or fatal obstacle thwarted them.
"Body, remember not only how much you were loved
not only the beds you lay on.
but also those desires glowing openly
in eyes that looked at you,
trembling for you in voices—
only some chance obstacle frustrated them.
Now that it’s all finally in the past,
it seems almost as if you gave yourself
to those desires too—how they glowed,
remember, in eyes that looked at you,
remember, body, how they trembled for you in those voices."
