Appointment on stage # 2

This is an appointment of political freedom.

Two dancers asking themselves and the public:

Are life, art and war necessary?

What role does giving play in being an individual?

It is an invitation in a very abstract and absurd form

to reflect about our behaviour, our beliefs and our selves.

By questioning life and art that can seem banal, the artist reflects

upon the time wasted in understanding that life is a repetition

related to the repetition of history.

“Appointment on Stage” is a choreographic rendezvous with others and an
encounter with oneself.

Two performers of different generations and national backgrounds
experience and acknowledge the body

as a feeling-thinking unity: "I trust you to be the dance, the Wo- man,
the moi."

This acceptance by the individual turns into a composition of
interpretive dancing

without kissing and a kissing without documentation.

Do you understand?

Angela Lamprianidou creates an integral dance affair made of words and
movement; an autonomous whole.

It reveals a conversing of cultures in which language plays the leading
and the supporting role.

The changing syntax that ensues in the piece raises, among others, the
bold question,

"Am I the person I want to be? Do I want to be the person I am?"

In this Duet he/she is uncertain about gender, the understanding of
gender

and at the end the misunderstanding of separation.
