“The light that we miss”

In Misslightenment, Eleni Ploumi explores the male role that overshadows women’s stories and bodies. She draws on the mythology and current mistreatment of women and reflects on her own memories. Misslightenment is a visually stunning performance in which the solo artist interacts with projected images and transforms herself into multiple characters. Through shadow, light and video, fragmented female narratives unfold, blending reality, fantasy and mythology.

Misslightenment is part of the LOOK guest performance series for dance art and diversity.
