InĀ Palindromes, Maria Georgoula shifts her sculptural practice into movement, using the body as material and gestures as readymades. Everyday actions blend with sound, creating a score shaped by rhythm, repetition, and play.
The performance moves through AMA House, unfolding both indoors and outdoors. Inside, the performers occupy different rooms, their movements intersecting within the frame of Georgoulaās diptych sculptures. Outside, the duet expands into open space before reconnecting.
The work evokes the familiar act of dancing alone at home, moving to your own playlist or someone elseās algorithm. What begins with solitary rhythm shifts into a shared choreography, built from fragments that stretch, scatter, and regroup. Improvisation amplifies these shifts, carrying humor, tension, and flashes of the grotesque into the flow of movement.
Performed by Vagelis Liopyrakis and Stavros Papadopoulos. āØāØSupported by AMA House.
