The theme is Exodoi:
Literally, Exodos means the movement of a large number of people, a departure, a journey moved by reasons, to escape a hostile environment. In Greek tragedy, Exodus, is the final scene; particularly, in Euripides, it involves the arrival of a Deus Ex Machina, a godly intervention towards an unstable situation. In the workhop context, exodos becomes plural- exodoi – and is understood metaphorically as:
Exodoi is the movement of our internal stories, landscapes, bodies. Exodoi calls for a Deux Ex Machina that allows us to understand, perceive and see, our own cartography. We can move to reach a welcoming land, we accept the intervention of a Deus Ex Machina through the creation of new wings. The wings are created as we allow the dialogic existence of the relation with nature with in us: stones (external) and bones (internal), water and blood, soil and flesh.
Exodoi – Cartographic Score Gesture Verse Fragrance wants to provide a space for micromovement and inner unveiling of our own internal bodies. Internal bodies are weaved through the light architecture of our bones, through myofascial connectors, organs, muscles as much as our epigenetic signs – traces; they also compose the unique and individual cartography made of gestures, verses and fragrances.
Through the dialogic process of all relations, we unfold our cartography into the real. Into this world.
Cartographic score is understood as a processual experiential choreography that each individual goes through to enter the dual process of exploration and creation.
