This production has as a main concept a strong desire, often unfulfilled, a passionate love. The expression, the externalization of an emotion that comes as a wave to shake our inner world. A dance that is reminiscent of our personal history, our collective memory, death, love. It is about a lonely dance that sometimes lustfully and sometimes with minimal movements tries to become a statement. It is about a public confession, accompanied by folk music in a folk dance hall.

‘DALGA’ took place in a historical dance hall in the middle of Athens. A new arrangement was designed for the spectators allowing them to emerge into the choreography while at the same time being observers.
The action penetrates the crowd through the linear table-2nd stage, reminiscent of habits in the greek night life.
