Using the age-old tale of Cinderella as a point of departure, Motus dance company is performing an original piece of movement composition. The archetypical heroine is transformed into a symbol for challenging stereotypes, asserting her self-sufficiency without hoping for miracles or a prince ex machina.
With the support of “Athens World Book Capital 2018” of the City of Athens*, Motus dance company will give four performances at the Hellenic American Union on the following dates:
- Tuesday, 9 April 2019, at 20:00
- Thursday, 11 April 2019, at 20:00
- Friday, 12 April 2019, at 20:00
- Monday, 15 April 2019, at 20:00
Each performance will be followed by an open discussion with the audience, during which the members of Motus dance company will discuss their research and work method.
