Marking his third production in Kyoto, Dimitris Papaioannou returns with a play for two in which he performs himself.
A deceptively simple work performed by a cast of two (including Papaioannou himself), it is filled with all his typically poetic and fantastical style. Enter the unique, surreal world of Papaioannou where darkness and fantasy coexist.

Dimitris Papaioannou
Director and choreographer. Born in 1964, Dimitris Papaioannou started his career as a visual artist and, prior to achieving fame in the performing arts as a director, choreographer, stage designer, and performer, was internationally known as a painter and comic book artist. He studied dance in New York and founded his own company in 1986, after which he developed a unique style of performance fusing physical theatre, experimental dance, and performance art. He came to global attention when he served as artistic director for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. In May 2018, Papaioannou choreographed and directed Since She for the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch, which was the first new work presented by the company since the death of its founder. In 2019, he staged his first production in Japan, THE GREAT TAMER. In June 2021, he premiered TRANSVERSE ORIENTATION, which was nominated for Best New Dance Production at the 2022 Laurence Olivier Awards and has been staged in over twenty countries, including Japan.
