The lingering mysticism of Mediterranean landscapes seep into Greek choreographer-performer Kat Válastur's pieces as living forces, stripped of nostalgia. Echoes of rural traditions are recast within the textures of contemporary life, unfolding as a dance/concert/installation chimera. Movement is tightly interlaced with music, often activated by sculptural instruments and constructions. Designed to resonate under the dancers’ touch, the space itself becomes charged with the possibility of healing and transformation.

Aho Ssan is the nom de l'artiste of Paris-based composer and producer Niamké Désiré, whose background in graphic design and cinema, and the lived complexities of growing up Black in the suburbs of Paris shaped a practice attuned to systems of representation and the gaps they create. Building his own digital instruments, the sound-worlds he crafts examine how identities and structures of power are distorted or concealed within technical structures.

In »MoonJar,« Válastur and Ssan shape a poetic exchange between sound, movement, and form. Inside a vivid, charged space, a ritual of renewal takes shape as Válastur’s instinctive physical language meets Aho Ssan’s enveloping sonic world, giving rise to a body that folds past and future into a single presence, an elemental call toward a different way of being. Sculptural elements by Latika Nehra and musical contributions from Sam Slater and Jakob Vasak extend the work’s atmosphere and deepen its evolving gesture.
