Wings of Wealth and Woe
In the movement art piece "Wings of Wealth and Woe", an intricate tapestry of Greek mythology and contemporary capitalism unfolds, inviting the audience on a thought-provoking journey through the collective entanglements of our existence.
In a metaphorical labyrinth that symbolises the intricate structures of our society, the dance becomes a dynamic exploration of the true property relations in our world. The dancers, who embody different socio-economic backgrounds, navigate through this labyrinth and become living embodiments of the constant struggle between poverty and wealth. Their movements emphasise the dichotomy between the temptations of material consumption and the intangible facets of happiness.
