agon

Although being Caribbean, Olga Gabrielle is drawn to the roots of Dionysian tragedy, the irrational and chaotic dimensions of human nature. The creation, Agon is an intercultural elaboration where bodies and rhythms merge with the emotional impulse of the Greek tragedy. The body of the performer becomes a living organism, creating a bridge between performer and spectator. In this ritual the god of excess Dionysus is celebrated both in the performer and the spectator. The performers through repetitive actions and lines transgress what is re-presented. AGON is an alchemical immersive space where one experiences the transformations of the body and where the dead mix with the living.
