PREMIERE: dragON forever

STEAM ROOM Darío Barreto Damas, Aleksandar Georgiev, Zhana Pencheva

dragON forever is the third part of the choreographic trilogy dragON, which borrows practice principles from the drag scene. After dragON aka PONY and dragON aka PHOENIX, the trio now explores the practice of lip sync in relation to choreography and dance. Can we dance within the gap of mimicry proposed in the lip sync practice? What would lip-synced choreography be?

dragON forever is an evening of eternity. A catwalk of masterpieces, failures, virtuosities and vulnerabilities. A motor with great kinetic impact. A party with no end. A glorious celebration of the potentials our aspirations hold. Riding along with what at first could be experienced as dull and superficial, STEAM ROOM puts an end to a journey of pleasure and joy which echo will last forever.

STEAM ROOM (Macedonia, Bulgaria, Spain, Sweden) is an artistic team working within the field of choreography and dance. The team is formed by Aleksandar Georgiev, Zhana Pencheva and Darío Barreto Damas, three choreographers/dancers actively operating locally and internationally. STEAM ROOM was formed in 2018 and works simultaneously in two directions, the choreographic trilogy dragON and the project institution ICC (Imaginative Choreographic Center).

Support: Ministry of Culture of Bulgaria, Municipality of Sofia and National Cultural Fund of Bulgaria, Mobility grant by Station Service for contemporary dance, Nomad Dance Academy, Dance On, Pass On, Dream On project and the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
