Compartment Dance Project

The authenticity and uniqueness of the compartments’ stage setting which causes the spontaneous self-restraint of the movement, leads to its overcoming and redefinition. The clarity, the inwardness, the austerity and the purity of the kinesiological element are spontaneously born from the great proximity to the viewer-conveyor and the intimacy of the private atmosphere. Topics and concepts, such as escape, departure, arrival, route, station, reconciliation, recreation, migration, separation, and whatever a “journey” encompasses literally and metaphorically, can become sources of inspiration and find their ideal dimension in this particular space.

The uniqueness of the Railway Contemporary Dance Festival stimulates unconventionally the creativity, thus resulting in an unparalleled cultural experience for both viewers and artists. At the same time, dance performances are taking place at the open-air area of the Platform and the new Cargo-Wagon of the Train-Theater.
