Dance in Marrakech...

Between sensorial intelligence, undefined spirituality and dance audacity the fencer moves...
Contact and love through dance...
I will be performing Tsolias in the Marrakech dance festival : On Marche 2008...

Fencer with no sword...

Fighting against the invisible...in the centre of Tours.
Occasionaly accepting the flow of things,
the Fencer keeps asking :
who is the Self?

He will be asking this question also in Marrakech the 25th of January.

ΕΥΡΩΠΗ or the Myth of Europe

I have to assume this role...
Am I being pretentious?
Representing the myth of Europe through a dancer's body?
Plus, 23 children & teenagers singing and acting around me?
A cultural alliance of european cities will be the pretext for this attempt. The 16th of March in the city hall of Tours.
I will test my capacity to per - form and also my capacity to receive and transmit at the same time...
Receive what? Transmit what?
What does an all encompassing space do naturally?
Who talked about love?
And She...continues inspiring me...Ah....
