Found and Lost

Filareti Papadopoulou presents her first choreographic work, “Found and Lost”, on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 May 2026 at 21:00 at Choros of liminal. A dance performance that explores the fragile conditions of finding and losing what we hold dear.

The work focuses on the experience of searching, finding, losing, and the trace of trauma it leaves behind.

A woman with short hair in a wheelchair watches two people completely wrapped in sleeping bags moving through a space with a wooden floor under warm lighting. One body is supported on all fours on the floor to the right, while the other stands upright against the back wall, with a black chair a few meters in front of them serving as the only stage object.

The body becomes a canvas where anxiety, tenderness, and the raw edge of loss are inscribed. Two dancers wear sleeping bags inside out, limiting their visual access to the space. This condition disconnects them from the ease of sight and pushes them to search for one another through the body, sound, touch, and breath.

The sleeping bag functions as a symbolic device: an object typically associated with protection, rest, and safety, here turned into an obstacle. This inversion generates a sustained state of uncertainty, where the familiar becomes unfamiliar and the need for connection intensifies.

In a bright space with a light grey, glossy floor, two bodies are concealed beneath dark-colored sleeping bags. They stand one behind the other. As the body in the back leans forward onto the one in front, the front body bends forward to support it. Behind them, a square black cube stands as the only object in the space.

ℹ️ Admission to the performance is by voluntary contribution.
