 “PATH" Dance and Theater Performance at the Ancient Theater of Milos! 

"It is a stage composition of Theater, Dance, Performance Art and Music that encourages collective movement. What kind of relationship can the philosopher Plato, the goddess Aphrodite, a Venezuelan-born Canadian architect, and a Milian musician develop? What impact does the allegory of Plato’s cave have on the soul and mind of each of them and what connects them to the sea? How will they manage to tell the story of a never realized trip to the Cyclades inside the orchestra of the Ancient Theater of Milos? A Poetic Passage from Darkness to Light through Love that is always transmitted, given with humor, lyricism, and straightforwardness.
