#ABOUT
With their tight embrace, Alexandros Vardaxoglou and Dafin Antoniadou form a distraught being waking from unknown depths. We witness it struggling to split into two, both sides seeking to assert their individuality at one moment, grasping for shelter and comfort at another.
As Vanishing Point unfolds, we are left to wonder if this phenomenon is science fiction or some nightmare made reality. “Dismembered and incomplete at the edges of life” is how the two choreographers put it, when the human body appears to be both a destination reached and unreachably distant at the same time.
