THOUGHT IN DANCE. MYTH IN A MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY

ABOUT THE WORK OF GERMAINE ACOGNY

In her choreography, Acogny blends the great female figures of Greek tragedy with the history of Africa.

This conference table seeks to contextualize and connect two of the central ideas that the choreographer works with: on the one hand, current interpretations of the myth of Medea in the arts and, on the other, the psychological creation and recreation of characters within a multicultural world where ancient myths dialogue with the present.

The session will be broadcast live onour YouTube channel.

Participants: 

Lourdes Flamarique, professor of contemporary philosophy and researcher at the University of Navarra. Topic: A Medea for the 21st century

Eleonora Espósito, Marie Curie researcher, Institute of Culture and Society, University of Navarra. Topic: postcolonial studies, gender-politics-society, critical discourse analysis.

Moderator:

Ibis Albizu (Ph.D. in Philosophy from the Complutense University, dance expert)
