Pavlos Kountouriotis will present a piece at the 20th World Dance Congress held in Athens this October. The choreographer has chosen to rebuild extracts from his older pieces "i xEn ErA" & "...and Juliet" and remaster them under a completely new face. "These pieces [i xEn ErA & ...and Juliet] represent the beginning of my choreographic carreer, but I believe it's already time for me to turn page and go for the main course. With the World Dance Congress, I devour the opportunity to put a final colourful brushtroke on my unrippen yet mature artistic fruits."
Rhytmic Movements” is a piece about pride and rage of all those social, ethnic or national groups suffering from unjust discrimination and suppression. It tries to identify the complexities of human relationships and the consequent fragility in the 
movement (both in its political and choreutic meaning) from colonialism to liberation.“Rhytmic movements” serves to manifest “the peoples’” internal need to liberate themselves from the subjugation of their respective self-imposed elite primarily through the means of artistic expression of their corporeality, in other words with dance.
The piece represents both the young choreographer’s first steps with an amazingly mature vision on artistic composition and contemporary politics but also his encounter with Iranian artists whose words have been the initiating inspiration of this choreography.
