Founded in 2008, internationally touring company BODHI PROJECT is part of the blackmountain non-profit organization, an association to promote contemporary dance and performance in Austria and abroad. Guided by the artistic visionary Susan Quinn, BODHI PROJECT’s repertory is stylistically diversified and on tour throughout Europe as well as internationally. It showcases the artistic and technical excellence of the dancers’ complex movement repertory, demanding theatrical elements and a strong stage presence. Since 2008, more than 40 internationally renowned choreographers have been commissioned to create new work for BODHI PROJECT. The commitment to support and promote artists that are established or newcomers in the field of contemporary dance, is a mission that the blackmountain organisation takes to heart.

The successful collaboration between BODHI PROJECT and  Dance Days Chania continues this year with a commissioned work by the internationally renowned choreographer Lenio Kaklea. For this new stage piece five dancers from BODHI PROJECT explore the theme of youth. We are surrounded by a multitude of products aimed at and supposedly made for ‘youth’: pop music, video clips, social media, fashion, electronic cigarettes, sodas, amusement parks,  films, night clubs and cultural events. An entire market is oriented towards, nourished by and supposedly responsive to what youth wants. Together with the dancers Lenio Kaklea creates a highly dynamic choreographic score that questions what it means to be, feel, look, or simply identify (or not) with being young today.
