Antiopa

Antiopa (2017) emerges from a mass of objectless snapshots defined, emerging from a documentation process between dance and performance by Alejandra Glez to a French dancer on a rooftop in Berlin. From this succession of photographs random and ecstatic a story is woven that goes back to Greek mythology: Antiopa was the wife of Apollo’s priest, Laocoon, who died strangled with his children by sea snakes. On the pure fact of subverting the male figure, giving it light to Antiopa instead of Laocoon, is found meaning to the piece placing the woman as the protagonist in the middle of a controversial passage from the 1st century BC.
