Ego-Mas
An international collaboration between Vivian Triantafyllopoulou's professional dance company based in London with the Athens based band Sevengill.
A choreography that explores motivation by observing human relationships. Where and how we find motivation and the power to move fowards - alone or with others. What makes us want to wake up every the morning and how can we influence each other? A unique meeting of talented dancers from London and the live music of the Greek post metal band that sparks a dance collaboration with a genre of music that we are not used to.
Performers: Christina Prompona, Jacob Elliott Roberts, Fanny Pouillot
