Marina Kalogirou, using her interpretive means, sometimes manages with the voice and sometimes with the movement to converse both with the poem, giving sound and image to its lyrics, as well as with the poet himself and his existential quests, creating with her interpretation the necessary energy condition and atmosphere, where the bodily transcends the material and meets the intangible and respectively the intangible is realized.
