Footprints on display

Saturday night I was home on my own trying to get through the newspapers when I caught the notice of a different dance-performance down the street.





A shop normally selling fancy furniture had emptied their store to make room for four dancers performing Huellas (footprints or traces), choreographed by Diana Theocharidis, in their shop-window.









Grabbing my camera, I hurried to see the show. Newspapers forgotten.






The idea of an alternative stage intrigued me, and the work evoked an athmosphere of subtle lunacy, of elegantly loosing control. A powerful and sensual, beautiful and intangible magnet.









Fascinating - and with the suggestive connotation to desire - for anyone who ever walked the red-light district of Amsterdam..
