Is it possible to defy the narrow limits of our personal identity, to discover and shape new fields of relationships between people, for a symbiosis on equal terms?

The "En dynami" group, based in Thessaloniki, which thrilled the audience with the performance Horses in Love in 2019, directed by Eleni Efthymiou and artistic director Eleni Dimopoulou, returns to Piraeus 260 in collaboration with the internationally recognized Viennese choreographer Michael Klien, for to present a work of social choreography, a choreographic landscape-experience. Social choreography, in which Klien has specialized for several years, is an emerging inter-artistic field that explores the experience of socialization by highlighting through artistic creation possible realities, capable of proposing new ways of coexistence.

The choreographic idea is inspired by the play Die Schwärmer by Robert Musil, which talks about the possibility of the coexistence of reason and dream. In an empty industrial space, within an environment composed of an electro-acoustic soundscape and corresponding lighting, a group of about fifty people of seemingly mixed abilities move through the space on personal paths of their own making. A deeply complex collective logic creates a special condition in which the approximately two hundred spectators become part of the work, with the help of a group of "guides". From a spectator, each participant becomes an actor.
