When: 09/03/2018 (09:30 p.m.) – 10/03/2018 (07:00 p.m.)
Where: Teatro Rivoli
Price: 10€
In “The Great Tamer”, the dancers are challenged to find equilibrium while going through tragedy. This dance performance is described as a process of deconstruction with a lot of emotions involved, but at the same time very simple and comparable to our daily lives. It gathers some familiar characters from the circus world (clowns, acrobats), so you can expect a touch of comedy. And it even pays homage to some European painters like Botticelli or Rembrandt.
Don’t miss the chance to find out why Papaioannou is called a poet on stage.
