cie. toula limnaios

a poem in motion – dedicated to lefteris, my father.
entrevisions is a polyopticon of landscapes and human reliefs, where light and shadow, sky and earth merge into one path and, free of hope, surrender to the dream.
»dark
close your eyes
have no fear 
we are all
close your eyes and touch your lids with your fingertips for a while
look inside 
pull your fingers back and let the images you see inside pass by you.« 
(toula limnaios)
three dancers move through an empty space in which, through dance and a few accessories, strong poetic images emerge, freely inspired by the four elements water, earth, fire and air. against the background of changing noises, tones and lighting moods, toula limnaios creates an incessantly spinning arc of images, which with the music of ralf r. ollertz conjures up a strange, melancholy atmosphere – beautiful and unsettling at the same time. the spectator is asked to surrender to the flow of free associations and thereby create a connection between imagination and reality.

her pieces breathe in an intangible secret, they breathe in the atmosphere of an expressionist silent film. dream sequences? the cabinett of dr. caligari? familiar picture.
marionettes, a bird fighting in a storm, forces of nature, insects, body parts that suddenly develop a life of their own, give impulses and sweep the whole body away. the mechanical movement of a doll, three people merging into one, a hand slowly running over a face, attraction and repulsion between two beings – there are no limits for the imagination. »Entrevisions« captivates with its straightforward simplicity, its poetry and the fascinating harmony of the flow of movement.

»toula limnaios spreads her arms to swing, and hardly anyone would be surprised if she actually rises into the air.« (nürnberger nachrichten, m.k, 1998)
