Underwater dance visual performance exhibition at Athens International Airport (February 1st – April 30th 2016) In September 2015, under the ancient Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounio, Attica, the world’s 1st underwater dance performance was performed in a unique “theatre” 5 metres below the surface of the water: 15 artists (amongst them three disabled dancers & three children) from France, Greece, and Cyprus, performed the choreography “Drops of Breath”, before an underwater audience, and a snorkeling audience at the sea surface! The new airport exhibition “Drops of Breath” displays a dance performed under the surface of the Mediterannean sea, through a video and large format print pictures. Underwater photographers followed the “Drops of Breath” project since the first rehearsals through the actual underwater performance, and captured the rare moments: in the absence of floor and gravity, dancers with heterogeneity in physical ability and cultural diversities, connected among themselves and their audience, in a liberating universe symbolizing the spirit of equality and diversity. At the same time, visitors can access and enjoy samples of the Drops of Breath music tracks through the available QR application.
