Between the Darkness and the Light: In PENUMBRA

Scotiabank Dance Centre01 Mar '17 to 04 Mar '17 @ 8:00 PM - 11:00 PM
  • Between the Darkness and the Light: In PENUMBRA
Choreographer and Artistic Director Paras Terezakis will explore the realms of paradise and enlightenment with the world premiere of his experimental work In PENUMBRA, March 1-4, 2017 at the Scotiabank Dance Centre - as part of 2017 Vancouver International Dance Festival. 
 
A co-presentation with The Dance Centre, In PENUMBRA will mark the milestone 30thanniversary of Kinesis Dance somatheatro, while celebrating Terezakis as a major force for creativity in Vancouver’s arts scene. 
 
“I’m immensely proud of In PENUMBRA,” says Terezakis, Artistic Director and Choreographer of Kinesis Dance. “It’s a significant triumph for my company, and I can think of no better way to mark this anniversary. For 30 years, I have been exploring radical possibilities—of movement, of meaning, of aesthetics. This time I wanted to take a deeper look at our quest to find utopia in our dystopic world; and more significantly the obstacles, either real or imaginary, found in that grey area, or the penumbra between light and dark.”
 
The performance will be nothing if not ambitious, incorporating provocative video, haunting music, and beautifully modulated lighting. We call the space where shadow meets light the penumbra; here, the word evokes the grey area between our best and worst traits. Terezakis and the stunning artists he has assembled will create a mystery world onstage, inviting us to ponder as our senses are ravished. 
 
With Kinesis Dance Terezakis works from a sensibility that encompasses Mediterranean and North American influences. Often inspired by classical Greek theatre, he aims for emotion without missing the intellect: his productions are deeply moving and deeply meaningful. Mixing dance with music, text and other media, the performances are far from conventional, but far from inaccessible: they embody the spirit of innovation while hearkening back to some of the oldest traditions in the West.
