Ode To Eros

April 16, 2016-11:00 am - April 20, 2016-4:00 pm

Ode to Eros
Maria Gaitanidi
Part of The Crypt Residency 2016
The Crypt Residency is an annual project where the gallery is opened up to a selection of artists to create site specific work, generate ideas and respond to the space.
Maria Gaitanidi is a performer and theatre director currently working on Manon Lescaut, a French novel of the 18th Century. Maria will develop a short choreography working with a ballerina, mixing structures from classical ballet with acapella singing in Italian, French and Greek. The story she is working on involves the life and tribulations of a French high rank girl of pleasures who constantly escaped prisons, monasteries, confessionals, hospitals……
The Crypt at St Pancras is to provide a great landscape for the imagery of the novel and a great counterbalance for the songs and sensuality of the dancer’s movement. The choreography will be filmed throughout the space of the Crypt.
Opening times:
Sat 16 – Wed 20: 11am-4pm,
With the exception of Tue 19: 11am-3pm
No showings, people may come in to watch the work in progress on the 20th in the afternoon.
