An UMBRA Story, the new choreographic work by Angelos Papadopoulos, arises as a continuation of his research on possible points of proximity and encounter.
An UMBRA Story is a choreographic composition for two performers that invites towards the reconciliation of a person with the memories and fantasies that reside within them. In poetry, the Latin word umbra is associated with “shadow” or spirit perceived as a lingering presence.
A paradoxical love story, queer as an occasion for dialogue and reflection, Brazilian jiu jitsu as a site of tension, the gaze as a point of contact, John Coltraine’s Blue Train, along with a compilation of disparate objects, gradually compose an uncanny dreamscape open to associations.
Under the auspices and with the financial support of the Ministry of Culture.
