A solo performance about the literal and figurative meaning of the word ROOTS.

We let it grow in us for so long that it rots. A Big idea. One utopia. We believe we will chance the world. And it feels like we return here forever and ever and we struggle that we will change it, we will fix it. And somehow… one day we realize that we love life so we choose death for death.

Alexia Nicolaou

The piece is based on the creator’s research and is inspired by the poetry work of Katerina Gogou.

Rotten Roots was part of the NO BODY At a distance Festival hosted by the Dancehouse Lefkosia.
