Delosη & Liquid matters

KUNST STOFF productions and METANEIRA AMKE present
the dance diptych Delosη & Liquid Matters

|| Delosη ||

An original in situ contemporary dance performance by acclaimed choreographer Yannis Antoniou and KUNST STOFF Productions.

Five multidimensional performers compose a unique on-stage experience of elevation and catharsis. Through an open dialogue with space and time, they explore the collective and personal imprints of memory. A performance of purification and reflection, where bodies-through a transcendent approach-offer their personal experience via movement, spoken word, vocal expression, and visual interventions.
The connective tissue of the work is formed by the dynamic drum transitions performed live by Nikolas Mamasis and the music of Nikos Giannios-an original composition with live processing-shaping a sonic environment in constant dialogue with the stage action.

The work was created following an invitation by the Ephorate of Antiquities of the Cyclades to produce a contemporary performance on the island of Delos.
It has been presented at major events in Greece and abroad, with the support of the Greek Embassy in Tirana, Flux Laboratory Athens, the Chania Contemporary Art Museum - Olive Press, the International Festival of Ancient Olympia, and the GRis Festival, under the auspices and support of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture (2024-25).

|| Liquid matters ||

A research project on the body, emotion, and the politics of love, expressed through the movement of 13 dancers of the new generation.

Liquid Matters is a multidisciplinary and inter-artistic project that, together with 13 emerging dancers, seeks answers to the question:
Where do we stand today in relation to the politics of emotion? Do we maintain safe distances from the Great and the Eternal that keeps memory alive and traces paths of historicity?

The work explores the body, emotion, and the politics of love through movement. Dance, metered speech, and music contribute to the creation of a world in which love and contact prevail. An unfiltered aesthetic structures an open field of possibilities, allowing for a continuous flow of bodies.
