LARSEN C

An iceberg or an ice shelf. This is how scientists describe the massive frozen volume of water in the Antarctic that is the 10,000-year-old Larsen C. Twice the size of Wales, Larsen C’s movements are so slow that they cannot be perceived by the human senses – it’s as if the pace of its movement gets absorbed by time and space.

In this new choreography by Christos Papadopoulos, which also takes the name Larsen C, human bodies tune in to this same everlasting pace in a dream-like sequence where they increasingly appear as otherworldly as a polar landscape.

Three years after Ion, Christos Papadopoulos is once more a close observer of minimal movements which, through immanence and repetition, generate life. Larsen C is a celebratory homage to the silent transference of bodies. In the artist’s own words, it is “a metaphor for life that moves ahead, invincible”.
