In Epirus in northwest Greece, not far from the Albanian border, Rosalba Torres Guerrero and Koen Augustijnen discovered the range, richness and vitality of traditional music and dance in the form of “miroloi”, a type of lamentation expressing the sorrow of separation caused by bereavement, departure or marriage. With nine contemporary dancers from Greece, the choreographers embark on a journey packed with emotional content and accompanied by music that shifts from traditional miroloi to versions blending jazz and rock. By sharing the pain linked to personal mourning and collectively exchanging it in song, gestures, looks and the lived experience, the community supports sufferers as they go through, endure and then transcend their sense of loss. It is only at the end of this long journey of suffering, passed from one to the next and carried by the group as if by a choir, that the complaint turns into a dance and song of renewal for the people left behind.
