It is with great pleasure that the Fluxum Foundation and Flux Laboratory Athens support the piece Bolero by the internationally renowned choreographer Andonis Foniadakis. Bolero will be presented in four Greek cities in the framework of the Kalamata Dance Festival.
The recognizable rhythm of the bolero has been inspiring musicians and choreographers for centuries. In Andonis Foniadakis’ choreography, the slow but persistent repeating rhythm of Ravel’s music functions as a constant driving force that leads the dancers both physically and mentally into a battle of endurance throughout the performance. The dancers, placed on the thin and constantly moving surface of the trampolines, balance the instability of the vertical movement and ultimately conquer the repetitive rhythm of the bolero, leading them to a collective climax and purification.
