Two performers play with a disparate series of images seeking to impart their own interpretation, resulting in an experience that is intensified by being distorted, paused and repeated. Paraskevopoulou’s MOS is a scenic game operating among the many hidden relations that exist between movement, sound, and image. Amplifying narratives that arise out of the mutual interplay and co-existence of seemingly incongruous archival sources, this piece brings visibility to elements that cannot easily be seen or heard.

Delivery is a performative project of the collective Elevator Bunker that stems from the desire to investigate the theme of happiness understood as the mood of those who consider their desires fulfilled. Happiness is in relationships, in the bonds we establish with others, with friends and family, in personal growth and in the free expression of our creativity. There is no better way to tell who we are than by revealing our most hidden happiness. In Delivery the performers go through a choreographic narration whose development is based on the sharing of motor sequences, individual or group improvisations and suspensions of the scenic flow. A game without fiction and without savings where the dancers transform their fragility into strengths. Understanding one’s own happiness, demanding it, desiring it, escaping reality and finally observing oneself through the gaze of the audience are aspects in continuous evolution that influence the performance scene and the relationship with the audience. What makes me happy? When can I be happy? How can I be happy? These questions are the starting points of an intimate and deep reflection that the performers go through revealing unexpected passions, desires and joys. Delivery is a spectacle of the need to be happy unconditionally, without fear of being judged or excluded. The performance is to be considered the continuation of the previous projects of the collective Elevator Bunker, which investigated the theme of identity and coexistence of differences.
Elevator Bunker collective was born in 2008 from an idea of Matteo Maffesanti and Davide Pachera as an active response to the desire for artistic research in the field of intellectual disability. The many years of experience gained by both in the social field leads them to activate a path that, through the performing arts and body language, can become an opportunity for growth and inclusion. The fundamental objective of the project is to create an open and accessible environment in which to express their creativity, considering individual characteristics not as a limit but as an important resource in artistic creation. Since 2017 Elevator Bunker has been active in numerous international projects of social inclusion promoted by the CSC of Bassano del Grappa and is a member of Europe Beyond Access Italia, network aimed at questioning and discussing the issues of accessibility and inclusion in the performing arts to generate awareness, spread knowledge and experience of good practices, encourage greater participation and leadership of artists and cultural workers with disabilities. In 2023 the company was selected for the project Boarding Pass, Performing No Limit supported by the Italian Ministry of Culture and creates the performance Delivery, a production Zebra Cultural Zoo in co production with Fondazione Teatro Comunale di Vicenza and the support of Operaestate Festival Veneto and La Corte Ospitale.

Borrowing its title from Led Zeppelin’s homonymous track, “All of My Love” is a sound-choreographic construction that transpires through the recollection of experiences, texts, objects, craft practices, and manual operations. A shifting landscape in which nothing remains soundless. An invitation to a sensory intense experience that gropes the edges of loss. A choreographic composition of diverse memories and images. A letter of love, remembrance, and tribute to all those that are (not) with us anymore. Seeking for motives and emotion, the artist begins with a question: “What would a last dance sound like if there was no tomorrow”? To try a first answer, she chooses to restore memories through the diversion of dissimilar elements and their sonic re-composition. Extracts of favorite movies, lyrics of beloved songs, voices of loved ones, excerpts from amateur family Super8 films, sounds made of agricultural tools and household appliances, photographs, and bodily memories, generate a ritualistic circumstance through which modes of being are challenged. “All of My Love” escapes linearity, inspiring temporal discontinuities by blurring the boundaries of beginning and end. It discloses personal origins, traumas, and fantasies in an effort to reconcile with the idea of death. It captures memories and transmutes them into a locus of catharsis, inviting the spectator to join a paradoxical reminiscence. “It chases a feather in the wind”. “All of My Love” is a kinetic and sonic cry for all that is not here, for all that is ending, for all that exists and transforms, for all that is always there.

Never young is a project dedicated to the theme of Lolita. It is a deep-dive into contemporary times, a docu-performance dedicated to a part of society that we often forget it represents the future: pre-adolescence. Never young is a leap into the future in an attempt to inhabit a complex, multiform, agitated present, in which we all feel - regardless of age - the need to scream loudly here and now.
