Mystery 127 Horses in love
project
Description
Mystery 127 Horses in Love was a performance – manifesto about love, with the participation of young artists with and without disabilities, after its great journey in the most important national festivals, and its European tour, came to the Open Theatre of the Old Oil Mill Factory of Elefsina for a single performance at the 1st of June of 2023.
What is love? How do we experience it? Does everyone have access to it? The Mysery 127 Love Horses is a play about love, this “disability” that dominates, tortures, empowers, drives mad and inflames. A performance – a hymn to the uninhibited vitality, and to all the senses that have been barricaded by a strictly rationalistic perception of life. A project that emerged from the need of the group members to openly share personal stories and explore universal aspects of human uniqueness. A creation that overcomes social barriers and sets aside obstacles in order to talk about the illogical, the instinct, the forbidden, the imagination, about the soul that ultimately insists on questing after all-consuming, requited love. Horses in Love, the third part of a trilogy titled «The Other Normal», under the artistic direction of Eleni Dimopoulou, directed by Eleni Efthymiou. The first part, «The Fan Man or How to Dress an Elephant», was presented as a production of the ensemble «En Dynamei» -among others- at the Athens and Epidaurus Festival (2015), at the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation, at the 4th Our Stage Festival in Dresden and at the 54th Dimitria festival, while the second part, «The Other Home», was presented at the Onassis Cultural Centre in its own production, as well as at the 51st Dimitria. In this theatrical trilogy «En Dynamei» explores the question: «What is not Normal is Other? » and at the same time seeks to make the abnormal known and familiar through sharing true stories of people who have experienced the negative connotation of «Other». The text of the performance was the result of an investigation on the issue of love and disability and is composed of edited interview fragments and original texts by the members of the group. Among others, the text «The Convention» by Giota Tempridou was played, while there are pervasive references to emblematic phrases of great thinkers and writers about what we call love.
