Fantasy has one dreadful quality, it can disappear without a trace and
leave you helplessly confronted with a nude reality.

About the ‘Sexy Yuppies’
This is what dancers look and sound like when they want to form a band.
Alexis, Eleana and Arianna have been collaborating with Lia for many years. Lia is always using the voice as a key element in her work together with the body, but it is only when she met Sabari that she has actually extended her sound interest into learning an instrument. Sakari introduced Lia to the bass guitar and the two formed a duo band called ‘Mute Spring’.
The duo welcomed the other collaborators into the process.
Tonight the Sexy Yuppies have their debut, let’s hope it’s not a disaster …..
The piece premiered at the Cyprus Dance Platform - Rialto theatre on November 2nd 2020
Next performance is on December 10th at Theatro Polis OPAP Nicosia
