Asomates Dynameis (disembodied forces) borrows its name from the Byzantine term for angels to indicate the spiritual energy they express through dance. Looking upon the body as a living memory, a poetic topos where the human experience can be traced, their dance becomes a vehicle of rememberance and reflection.
