Slovenia, Greece

Glorious Epic Wet is a stormy choreographic work that reimagines heroism in a time of instability. Expanding from a duet into a charged group constellation, the performance dissolves the singular hero into a shifting collective body. This co-production project, developed by two partners within the Moving Balkans network, brings together five dancers from En–Knap Group and five dancers selected by the Contemporary Dance Association Slovenia (CDAS / DSPS). For this occasion, choreographer Sofia Mavragani has been invited to reimagine her epic choreographic work for an expanded ensemble of ten dancers. Choreographed to adapt to both site-specific and indoor contexts, the project will be presented in a variety of environments, aiming the work to enter into dialogue with different architectural spatial and social conditions.

12 minutes of challenging heroism and hierarchy.
