The hero is a scientist obsessed with bats. All the `signs of existence’ are found categorized in specamin bowls until… '

The fabulous case of the bat' is performance-installation based on book extracts “the course of man” by Sotiri Dimitriou, “the requiem of an absurd world’ by Ionesko, “ Overcome guilt` Lucio Della Setta and from texts that were brought from within the group, with the occasion the film microkosmos. We worked based on sound, sonar, graphic scores of Hermann Regner, space, sound-space, to human body and with the sound of silence. What interested us more was the fabulous case of a bat, of the unique mammal, which flies although nearly blind, similar to those with limited possibilities who finally accomplish to become who they want to be. The group ` Free Fall` was created from within the dance lab of Vassiliki Saplatzi, which began in February and was completed in June within the Dramatic Faculty Delos.

The group will continue its research and present ` The fabulous case of the bat` in its final form.
