Performance and dance screenings 8-9 of October 2016 Kinitiras/Rizari Park Kinitiras inaugurates this artistic season organizing two days of performances and dance screenings. In collaboration with Miden (www.festivalmiden.gr), the famous video platform of art with two days of video performance and video dance where 28 pieces of work from 17 countries will be presented, in two sections, curated by Margarita Stavraki. The first section under the title ‘Choreographies Unconscious’ is a selection of 15 video-performance and video-dance with a variety of references and extrapolations, where the physical movement is presented together with the rhythmical and stylized one. The second section, under the title ‘Keep Moving’ presents 13 pieces with different aesthetics and conceptual approaches, which seek the reasons and the motives behind each move. A section, with adolescent, political and perhaps a sweet revolutionary mood. Meanwhile, the last year’s In Progress Feedback Festival winner of Kinitiras, the Puerto Rican Marielys Burgos Meléndez, will present the performance “Farewell: Elsewhere”, in October 8th at the Rizari park (metro Evangelismos) and in October 9th at Kinitiras’ studio. This performance is a self-portrait of departures through which artistic researcher, Marielys Burgos Meléndez generates her own poetic of ongoinness and transience. Framed within her current investigation about mobility and migration, ISLA en FUGA, leaving or going elsewhere is embodied as a survival strategy and a healing practice. Presented as a dance/movement installation Marielys reinstates her moving experiences of (dis)location and (re)location through video art, creative writing, instant devising and ritual performance. After the performance, Marielys will have a conversation with the audience about her work as well as her experience in the In Progress Feedback Festival. An opportunity that artists of performing arts interested in presenting their in progress projects at this year’s In Progress Feedback Festival (18-19 of March 2017) should not miss.
