GEORGIA VARDAROU

The show starts from a moment of awareness that a fictional character, Lenina, intuits in chapter 6 of Aldous Huxley’s dystopian novel Brave New World. As Lenina’s helicopter hovers over the dark ocean she is gripped by an uncomfortable feeling, her social conditioning is being challenged and she begins to question reality… This performance sets out to capture that first moment of awareness experienced just before an awakening, a revolution or falling in love.

Georgia Vardarou graduated from the National School of Dance (Κ.Σ.Ο.Τ.) in Greece and then from P.A.R.T.S. in Belgium As a professional dancer, she has worked with Salva Sanchis, Marc Vanrunxt, Cecilie Ullerup Schmidt, Lance Gries, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker/Rosas, Quim Bigas and Albert Quesada. Her choreography focuses on individual movement, its inherent content and the intersubjectivity between an observer and a dancer in perceiving the dance. She has created several works that have been performed in theatres and dance festivals throughout Europe. Georgia lived in Brussels for 13 years before moving to Barcelona in 2017. Her work is produced by Kunst/Werk.
