Kat Válastur (Greece)
‘Válastur has not only developed a unique and personal dance language, she also addresses contemporary social issues.’ wrote Tagespiegel about the work of the Greek choreographer, who lives and works in Berlin. In her performances Válastur evokes a magical, alienating world, something we also see with both Alan Lucien Øyen and Peeping Tom, who are on the main stage on the same days. Moreover, Válastur asks a similar question to Øyen in his performance Story, Story, die. What is truth and what is a lie in a time when everyone is carefully constructing and manipulating their own identity through digital media?
