ODE

ABOUT

ODE is about togetherness, about no woman being alone. About the ways we can find in order to expand the space that is ours as women. A bodily poem that explores the core of female strength through gaze and movement.
ODE is an act of embodied poetry—dynamic, melodic, distilled.
Antoniou’s new work follows that path that shifts the gaze, space, time, and the relationship with the spectator. In ODE, the two artists redefine each institutional venue that presents it as a field of attunement, and stand where rupture and renewal meet. The gaze determines, seeing with an eroticism that claims the right to draw close, to unite. Vulnerability becomes a passage toward another kind of power. Hierarchies and roles recede. Presence asserts itself and becomes sound, movement becomes vibration, and coexistence becomes a form of claiming. As Audre Lorde says, “Your silence will not protect you.”
