If I Can't Dance, I Will Not Be a Part of Your Revolution In her new large-scale choreographic work, Maria Koliopoulou collaborates with 13 female performers of different ages and abilities - with visual, motor disabilities and without, seeking the profound pleasure of the moment, the exposition, the creation, the presence. If I Can't Dance, I Will Not Be a Part of Your Revolution deals with the connection between 13 women, their collective process as a path of renegotiation and mutual support. It focuses on bringing them together in a common place, inventing a common time, recognizing the multiplicity and heterogeneity of the bodies around them in order to walk together. This path is a collective path of empowerment, care and encouragement in order for each femininity to find itself in a safe field that inspires it to unfold. The clatter of words used in the performance is a ritual mechanism in the search for a utopia. It stimulates and supports a soundscape where the open becomes familiar, where perception, memory and imagination are in constant interaction, where the field of individual presence meets collective images allowing another world of female pleasure and solidarity to emerge. Maria Koliopoulou continues her research process of recent years on breathing, voice and movement, having constant partners and companions. In the show If I Can't Dance, I Will Not Be a Part of Your Revolution focuses on seeking the enjoyment of self and others in a common place created along the way, while laying the foundations of enjoying the world in a participatory process of circular viewing, without distances and separations.
