Bastet - Marianna Kavallieratos, Dom Bouffard

The dance is named after Bastet, the Egyptian goddess of felines. According to ancient Egyptian tradition, she was the helper of the Sun God. The piece is inspired by the omnipotent Greek sun as well as the ever-present cats of Greece. The six dancers will climb on the stage over the canal, and exploit the symbolism of the sun's strength and the feline's intelligence in order to express the age-old struggle of woman to free herself from her ties and to shine, by using her endless spiritual strength which society's norms attempt to stifle. All this will be interpreted through a play of movement and sound, and thus create a hymn for the female sex.
