STRONG-BORN is the literal translation of the name Iphigenia. In her new work, Kat Válastur takes inspiration from the sacrificial story of “Iphigenia in Aulis” and the ‘anastenaria‘, an archaic ritual of Northern Greece, and channels them into a dance that aspires to transform a demand for sacrifice into a rebellious resistance against it. The movements of the three female performers are determined by sound-making elements attached to their bodies and the resonating interplay with a circular wooden platform. Along with the percussionist Valentina Magaletti the seemingly sacrificial ritual reveals a sonic female force against disposability and into empowerment.
