Talking Bodies Collective

Psycle Of Movement Imagination (P. O. M.I) is a dance company that combines circus art with the energies of martial arts in a unique way. Their work origins from improvisation, as well as the expression of movement in the state of mind, which is added to the aerial acrobatics as a new dimension to the theatrical space. From this symbiotic existence a multilayer movement language evolved in which kungfu, airial dance and contemporary dance nourish each other. At the core of their work is the flow between male and female energies based on different philosophical and scientific ideas. Their inspirations are provided by sacred geometry, existentialism, oriental philosophy, and the fundamental questions of human consciousness.

 “Nothing retains the form that seems its own, and Nature, the renewer of all things, continually changes every form into some other shape. Believe my word, in all this universe of vast extent, not one thing ever perished. All have changed appearance. Men say a certain thing is born, if it takes a different form from what it had; and yet they say, that certain thing has died, if it no longer keeps the self same shape. Though distant things move near, and near things far, always the sum of all things is unchanged. (Ovidius/Metamorphoses)

 

Our Homeless heroes shows the way of two lost creatures who are seeking their way through the loneliness in an unknown world. Their homelessness meant to symbolize their endless journey in the cycle of time. Our subject is not only on the boundaries of metaphysics and philosophy, inspired by Oriental philosophies and Kung-fu, but also by the possibilities of the meaning-bearing role in the body as well as by the pure art of dancing. Mind and unconscious, dream and reality, known and unknown pairs of concepts make it possible for a person to gain more knowledge of himself. Recalling the evolutionary process, its elemental power excites us.
