The Fabulous story
of Basarkus
 

Genre: Dance and acrobatics
Ages: 3+
Language: Nonverbal
Duration: 35’

 

Basarkus is not like any other being! A creature with two heads and multiple legs, it also has numerous arms. It's happy this way, in perfect harmony with itself. But discovering that it has two hearts, Basarkus wonders. What if they were actually two? Together, they seem stronger, safer. However, driven by a fierce curiosity, they can't resist the urge to dissociate. Their games now revolve around overcoming their fears and experimenting with separation at any cost.

​

The quest for identity and the concept of hybridity take centre stage in this story. Where does my body begin and where does it end? Who is this other than me? So many questions that form the core of this ode to self-discovery.

​

The production is held under the auspices of the Embassy of France and the French Institute in Cyprus.

The performance at the Attikon Multicultural Space is presented with the support of the Municipality of Pafos.
