Kosmos - Andonis Foniadakis | Extended Teaser

In this work for BJM, Andonis Foniadakis draws his inspiration from the world we live in, the frenetic pace of everyday urban life. His observations were the trigger for creating choreography inspired by the movements of crowds, moments of agitation, and the hustle and bustle of the city. Andonis searches for counterbalance, bringing beauty to the fore and turning frenetic movement into a dance that brings people together in a joyous, liberating fashion. This is a dance based on clear movement, where a mingling clan of dancers must come to terms with the presence of others. Unlike modern life with its imposed restrictions, this ballet is a moment for reconnecting, for releasing tensions, for coming together and letting go. Once again, this work bears the distinctive BJM signature characterized by pure, festive energy, a celebration of humanity - its beauty and its creative force.
