— Director's note:
This project is part of our reflections on what is called ‘western culture’ and ‘western world’. Although we come from different countries, Greece and Slovakia, our European origin, with its contrasts, remains common. In the same time, we feel free to reveal our identity and provide the current artistic landscape with our own colors since we consider this to be the only way to diversity and diversity as a sign of health. This is the way we move, the way we dance and the way we deal with the world. We are dynamic and totally absorbed in whatever our senses can perceive and our bodies can achieve.

While working and researching for Europium, we read many stories and myths about the origins of the European culture. The story of the raft of the Medusa, though, with its horrible chain of events, seemed to us, until today, the clearest story about Europe. At first, we didn’t want to focus our work on that event. But as time went by, so many relevant events happened in the Aegean and the Mediterranean seas that we just couldn’t ignore them. We thought that in the core of what we call the "nature of our culture" lies the problem of defining the values of our society and the mechanisms used to promote, impose and defend them.

But that is also the issue every society and culture has to deal with: answer how life is worth living, how is worth dying, what is important and what is not, for all as a group and each as a person. What is considered a success and what is considered a failure. What and who we believe affirms and endorses or threatens and goes against the values of our culture and how we treat those.
