GRThe article discusses the Greek choreographer Danil Simkin’s performance titled 'Koryvantes,' which reinterprets the myth of the Kourētēs (Corybants) through modern dance. The production was staged at the archaeological site of Ancient Eleutherae, integrating the historical and natural environment into the performance. Simkin explains how contemporary dance often takes place in neutral settings, but this work required considering the history, landscape, and light conditions of the ancient site. The performance, commissioned by the Museum of Ancient Eleutherae, focuses on the myth where Rea protects her youngest child, Zeus, by hiding him in a cave. The director of the museum, Nikolaos Stambolidis, emphasizes that the portrayal of the Kourētēs uses a modern choreographic language rather than depicting them literally. The idea for the performance originated after Simkin met Stambolidis in 2023 during a performance of Don Quixote. Stambolidis explained the etymology of the word 'orchestra' and its connection to ancient agricultural practices.
