A site-specific performance seeking happiness in a world drowning in a pile of useless things by the group “Stereo Nero” of choreographer Evi Souli.
In a nostalgic present where they long for lost glory, within an environment filled with sarcasm, bitter humor about what has passed, and fear of what is to come, a group of six girls tries to grasp onto the trivial and ephemeral materials, much like their fleeting youth that bids them farewell. The Beckettian universe serves as a springboard for the creation of a personal world where simple and common things transform into grand ideas, thoughts, and ideals to constitute our own “happy days.”
With the compass of Glykeria Basdeki’s texts (tears, 2019), the group blends disparate elements in an attempt to synthesize the everyday with the poetic, in a surreal atmosphere of a forgotten shopping center. All these allow us to dream of sometimes becoming Fellini’s protagonists and at other times the main act on the stage. Searching for happiness, everything can explode, but Angelos Papadimitriou will be there to lead us into the light through the final scene of Antonioni’s Zabriskie Point.
