Description
Dimitris Papaioannou, who is called the 'poet on the stage,' pays a visit to the NTOK. This artist of versatile talents, who is also a director, choreographer, designer, and actor, is particularly renowned for his gripping opening and closing ceremonies of 2004 Summer Olympics held in Athens. <<INK>> takes audiences to a mythical moment of the ancient times, using water - the origin of the cosmos for the Greek myth and essential source of life- as the focus of its mise-en-scene. A precious opportunity to see the poetic world of Dimitris, filled with the aesthetics of restraint, simplicity, creative imagination, and surrealism.
