fears?Are we all desperately looking for someone
to accept us just the way we are? Do we live in a
society where we want to be loved by everyone
and spend so much time hiding our imperfections
behind a mask that covers ourselves? This dance
theatre duet attempts to uncover these masks. Both
dancers explore personal, intimate moments and
needs.” Vicky Kalla

MAN and their OEUVRES. The past of primal
matter meets a future that seeks its forms of
expression.
The performance draws inspiration from the
work ARCHETYPA, which is to be premiered
in June 2015 in Cyprus as part of the Terpsichore
Programme.
Harry Koushos is a dancer, choreographer and
dance artist from Cyprus, based inAthens. He has
performed for numerous dance companies and
during the last years he has been collaborating
with Alexandra Waierstall. At the age of 22, he
began creating his own choreographic and video-
dance work, which has been presented since
then across Europe. His work has been invited
by several festivals in Greece, Cyprus, Belgium,
Sweden, England, Portugal and Germany. In his
creations, he makes use of different media and art
forms – both visual and performing - while he is
particularly interested in the interaction between
the latest technologies and primal materials,
including the human body. Thus, he focuses on
the materialisation of choreographic ideas along
with the embodiment of abstract forms in order to
address the spectator’s own finest perceptive and
associative brain functions.

“The subject matter (…) can be identified. It is that
class of events which occurs during co-presence
and by virtue of co-presence. The ultimate
behavioural materials are the glances, gestures,
positionings, and verbal statements that people
continuously feed into the situations, whether
intended or not. (…) The normative order can be
uncovered prevailing within and between these
units, that is, the behavioural order found in all
peopled places, whether public, semi-public, or
private, and whether under the auspices of an
organized social occasion or the flatter constraints
of merely a routinized social setting. (…) we need
to identify the countless patterns and natural
sequences of behaviour occurring whenever
persons come into one another’s immediate
presence.”
