Poems for Daedalus

 Áine O’Dwyer created a theatrical sequence of new performances specifically for Athens, activating the architecture of the space and atmosphere of the neighbourhood. 

A playful exploration of the unique music of the building and its environs, incorporating a choreography of streetside mopeds, a window-cleaning ritual and a remotely microphoned walk transmitted live to the captive audience involving chance encounters with passersby and a local dog. 

The event marked the launch of her book Poems for Play, inspired by her time on the Greek island of Syros, and was recorded to form a new musical work, released as Daedalus Airs.
