The choreographic work is presented at the A. G. Leventis Gallery, in Nicosia, and communicates an artistic dialogue between body, music, images and space. The inspiration comes from the painting by Christoforos Savvas entitled "The Bird of Messarka" which is exhibited in the Cypriot Collection of the Gallery. Both the content of the painting and the style are interesting, more specifically, in choreographic research the points that constituted the initial stages of experimentation are the patterns presented in the painting, the creation materials, as well as the title itself. At a later stage, a more creative approach was taken, after exploring possible scenarios that arise by observing the table, such as the time, the mood, the meaning of the flight, the bird's perspective always within the Cypriot context in which it has been created and which relates to the present day. In addition, an important element that has been included in the artistic research, explains the point where the painting is exposed and the dialogue created with the work that dominates the space (The World of Cyprus, Diamantis), taking into account the time of their creation. Through construction as well as the way in which the spectators are to be placed, a "bridge" is created where the above are always evolved through movement/choreography and music in order to see the relationship between the two. The play will be presented by a dancer and two musicians on stage with the use and interaction of the stage space.
