"Construction" is the documentation of the process of a rehearsal performed by contemporary dance and acrobatics company "Ki omWs kineitai" during the preparation of the group to participate in a theatrical play. It took place during the second lockdown in Athens in a climate of general uncertainty regarding the planning and performing of live performances. In "Construction" the return of the bodies to rehearsal conditions, the need for communication and reconnection and the memory of sharing with the spectators that still gives hope are recorded in a spontaneous and fragmentary way.
