Bright Future, by Evangelos Poulinas

Poster Design for the dance performance
Bright Future, by Evangelos Poulinas

Bright Future is a contemporary dance performance that emerged from the research of choreographer and performer Evangelos Poulinas and the dancers, focusing on time and expectations. More specifically, it concerns our preoccupation with the future and to what extent this preoccupation affects the present. What is the need that drives us to plan and try to control our future? How can we come to terms with the unknown and enjoy the unexpected?

It is a creation with three dancers from Greece and Germany (Sevasti Zafira, Maria Manoukian, Evangelos Poulinas), who will be invited to seek absolute perfection, to experience the limits of their physicality, exploring the ideal in different situations. They will wander through situations of success, greatness, but also disappointment, as well as conflict with themselves and those around them.

The design of the poster for bright future was based on the only photograph accepted by the office, along with the brief. A strong and mysterious image where, together with the press release/description of the performance, images were created with the technique of repetition which yields inexhaustible images, exuding movement in relation to time and its course within it.
