ABOUT

Choreographer-performer Elena Antoniou and musician Maria Spivak meet on stage for the first time in ODE. Following LANDSCAPE—which continues, for a third consecutive year, to travel across European festivals with the support of Onassis Stegi—the new chorographic work traces a path that shifts the gaze, the space, the time, and the relationship with the spectator.

In ODE, the two artists redefine each institutional venue as a field of attunement, standing at the threshold where rupture meets rebirth. The gaze becomes a force — it does not divide, but sees with an eroticism that longs to draw near, to unite. Vulnerability becomes a passage to another kind of strength. Hierarchies and roles recede. Presence asserts itself: becomes sound, movement turns to vibration, and coexistence becomes an act of re-claiming space.

ODE is a powerful, melodic, dense state — an act of embodied poetry. A gesture of transition: from dominance to a language of elevation. As Audre Lorde reminds us: “Your silence will not protect you."
