SPERO Choreography and performance: Avatâra Ayuso Music: Zoe Keating Lighting: Avatâra Ayuso Production: Arras Foundation Dresden and European center for the Arts Hellerau Premier: 29 October 2010 at European center for the Arts Hellerau SPERO is inspired by the drawings that Nancy Spero made for the Festspielhaus Hellerau in 1998. They reflect on the female body and its role in modern societies, taking into account its eroticism, suffering, and social oppression. SPERO is an athletic but intimate solo concieved as a metaphor for the confrontation of a female character with the history of violence and repression that women had to undergo during the XX centuryhttp://www.hellerau.orghttp://www.hellerau.orgshapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1
