The stage is on an incline, covered with removable charcoal grey plates, evoking the substrata of a cemetery or a geological site. Trap doors are opened at will; the earth shifts and undulates. The bodies of the performers disappear into the bowels of the earth. With this black and white fable, there is an orgy of images. The Greek artist, Dimitris Papaioannou, stages the tension between life and our demise. Without beginning or end, this dreamlike creation evokes ancient and modern myths, conjuring up masterpieces of visual art in an ode to the most powerful of creators: death. The chaos of the world has never been so poetic.
→ Dimitris Papaioannou gained early recognition as a comics artist and painter, before taking on the performing arts as a director, choreographer, performer and founder of the illustrious Edafos Dance Theatre. Since 1986, he has dedicated him- self to creating intensely visual original works – a hybrid of experimental dance, physical theatre and performance art.
