Translated information:

As part of the exhibition “The World of Cyrus John. Sets, costumes and archival material from the theater, dance, music and television” Mary Malaxianaki presents the dance performance “Settlements Dreams” Sunday, January 24th.

If we liken the dream of a secular reflection and butoh with a dreamy reflection we might imagine these two situations as courtyards and self-contained entities that roam the same maze.

The art dive freely where active and forgotten dreams synaflizontai embraced as a cosmic or metaphysical system.
The slightest movement of a Party sets in motion the whole system and this inexplicable spreading wavy form affecting anything related to it directly or indirectly.
This dynamic development can lead to subtle or dramatic effects.
This awakening can transform individuals and entire societies.

The human spirit rejoice, rejoice anxious and excited towards the awakening of mythological fiction.

Through this matrix butoh was born for this maybe one of the leading forms of human input in the camp of dreams.
Where ancient and now forgotten beliefs and rituals were able to penetrate so deeply.
