PRESENTATION


(c) Wim Vandekeybus

After touring some stages around the world, the solo Etna by Thi-Mai Ngugen is being presented in 24th Kalamata Dance Festival evolved and matured. Thi-Mai with her small body and her immense dance is a woman of multiple talents. She dances, sings and acts creating a heart breaking performance. She plays Etna, a young tramp drowned in her madness, a tape recorder in her arms. We can hear, through the tape recorder, the sounds of her past life, warming up her body and her memories. Etna dances to ward off fate and bad luck, to retain a little longer inside the heat of life. She dances, because under the mire persists the desire to feel, to be, and to love. Homeless people are improbable survivors of a tough and jarring reality. They disappear behind a veil of loneliness, wandering like shadows in the heart of our cities. The enigma of these people, swinging over the edge of death seems to shift the stake of existence: it is no longer about doing or accomplishing, but about surviving "who we are".

The premiere of Etna took place on the 7th and 8th of March 2018 at Théâtre de la Balsamine in Bruxelles, followed by two more shows at Théâtre Marni.
