A microcosm fertilizes itself with ghost blood. In the absence of human interaction, Cyprus’s buffer zone cultivates the rebirth of new life. In his solo performance, Elias Klark envisions the post-apocalyptic landscape of his homeland through an audiovisual synthesis. An amorphous shadow embodies the dance of an uncultivated land — abandoned and haunted by a perpetual truce between North and South. The New Buffer Zone becomes an act of self-reconciliation, marked by desires that transcend division and expressed through the slow evolution of an endless rhythmic organism.
Elias Klark is a dance and performance artist based between the Netherlands and Cyprus. His work engages with themes of colonial legacies, national diasporas, and militarized states, seeking through the body new ways to redefine identity and collective existence. Oscillating between self-sustained agency and the paradox of its failure, his research traverses the complex geopolitical landscape of his birthplace and his experience of compulsory service in the Cypriot National Guard. His performances unfold through transformation and liminal spaces — imaginary buffer zones that invite audiences to envision new forms of revolution. He will graduate in 2026 from the SNDO and ECD programmes at the Academy of Theatre and Dance in Amsterdam.
