Conceived and directed by Dimitris Papaioannou
Evoking myth and religion, the newest creation by Greek director-choreographer Dimitris Papaioannou dazzles with meticulous craft, imaginative play, and visual intensity. Like The Great Tamer, his internationally acclaimed, Next Wave 2019 sold-out sensation, Transverse Orientation induces awe on a massive scale, set to the music of Vivaldi. With dreamlike, painterly composition-and the rendering of a bull, in all of its lifelike power-it will make you wonder what’s real. Papaioannou-one of the first choreographers to create new work for Pina Bausch’s Tanztheater Wuppertal in 45 years-exacts striking formal language, along with the best of experimental theater art.
Note: This show contains nudity and may not be appropriate for children.
