Overview
Milena Ugren Koulas’ latest full-length choreographic work is about a journey of creating common principles and foundations for a movement language that could maybe connect or divide. After a long period of creating solo or duet works, Milena for her first time for this choreography collaborates with 9 Cypriot dancers.
Together with some of the island’s well-known musicians they explore how we communicate our differences and similarities with movement and rhythm. In the “Have Nothing to Say” Milena questions: How distant are we? How close can we be? Can movement rhythm connect us? Are we, lonely or belonging? Unique or ordinary? Connected or disconnected? Accepted or rejected? Us, them or together being in a present moment?
