ΜΑUΘ/ BY SOFIA MAVRAGANI
If I shut my mouth I will burst if I shut my mouth I will burst if I shout my mouth I will burst
Three performers, a trampoline, microphones, cables, shapes, colours, sounds, voices and bodies are fused together in a choreographic race of sorts guided by the human mouth substituting the entire body.
Sofia Mavragani (Aerowaves Artist 2019) continues her research on the musicality of bodies, creating MAUΘ, built upon a paradoxical equation between sound and movement. At the intersection of dance, theatre and music, the performance draws attention to voice as an integral aspect of physical expression, with physical movement as the equivalent aspect of a polyphonic composition.
