After The Great Tamer, the Greek director and choreographer Dimitris Papaioannou, pioneer of contemporary dance, returns to the Festival with his second international production. More than 500 performers and dancers from all over the world went for the auditions for the new work. The show does not yet have a definitive title, a choice that the artist motivates with the need «not to think about the final result in advance, in order to continue to believe in the process. The work reveals itself – he explains in the director’s notes – and I try to understand it, to perfect it. I reserve the right to change everything at the last moment. If I talked about it, I would risk deceiving you or betraying the work».
