EXODOS. Przemek Kamiński

EXODOS (ancient Greek: ἔξοδος, departure) is the song sung by the chorus to mark the end of a tragedy. It does not introduce new plot, but it sums up the events and offers a lyrical and moralistic commentary.

EXODOS is the final part of Przemek Kamiński’s 5 years of research into the life and work of the American dancer and choreographer Fred Herko.

EXODOS is a dance concert that celebrates the end and the beginning, conjuring Herko’s queer utopian spirit – the spirit of the unfinished, of the belated and of the absent as of yet. The Museum of Modern Art’s new venue becomes a horizon full of potentiality and the dance a tool for imagining, affirming and ornamenting.

The event is part of the opening’s Choreographic Programme. With more than twenty shows, the audience will be offered an opportunity to witness diverse artistic strategies and a multitude of formal takes. The programme includes works in progress, dance acts and choreographic installations, with spectacular group productions sharing space with intimate solo activities.
