In LASKARINES, three contemporary dancers embody the emotionality of an inner struggle: the struggle for self-realization. Between their own dreams, social expectations and the unpredictability of life, they perform a balancing act that never quite succeeds. The performance moves through determination, joy and satisfaction to stress, anger and exhaustion. Where are the limits of our inner struggles? And when does the pursuit of a dream become a burden?
The title LASKARINES refers to Laskarina Bouboulina, an important fighter in the Greek revolution of 1821, who was exiled due to political conflicts and ultimately lost her life in a family dispute. Would Laskarina make the same decisions today as she did back then?
Choreographer Vasiliki Bara draws on her Greek origins and contemporary media to create something new on stage. For the choreographic material, she combines traditional Greek men's dances with the aesthetics of video games - two seemingly opposing worlds that nevertheless focus on combat. Together with the dancers, she develops a choreography of dynamic steps, jumps and formations. The performance is accompanied by newly composed, electro-acoustic pieces by Konstantinos Baras.

Before the performance on Friday, December 5, the OFFENE TANZKURS: GRIECHISCHE TÄNZE with Griechenhaus Leipzig e.V. will takeplace from 18:00 - 19:30.
