“Shall We Dance?”
An intergenerational theatre performance with dance and music for audiences aged 2-5 and 65+! (in Greek)
The Artika group presents the intergenerational performance “Shall We Dance?”, a theatre production with dance and music for audiences aged 2 to 5 and people over 65, at the Foyer of the B&E Goulandris Foundation Amphitheatre on November 8 and 15 and December 13 and 20.
The performance is based on the idea that very young children are capable and intelligent spectators, just like adults. At the same time, it brings to the forefront the elderly—often marginalised in our fast-paced society—who nonetheless form a precious part of children’s lives, especially those of very young children. Their worn bodies are, for children, an emotional refuge; a source overflowing with hugs, kisses and tenderness. Children see their grandparents just as they themselves feel inside: alive, full of energy and desires. That’s how we see them too!
Directed by Marilena Triantafyllidou, the performance features Renato, an elderly man who lives alone and loves music, dance and treats. Memories, dreams and reality intertwine in his daily life, unfolding before us with humour, sensitivity and poetry—revealing a soul brimming with vitality and a yearning for life.
