Dimitris Papaioannou

Born in Athens in 1964, Dimitris Papaioannou was a student of the iconic Greek painter Yannis Tsarouchis before studying at the Athens School of Fine Arts. He gained early recognition as a painter and comics artist, before his focus shifted to the performing arts. After studying dance in New York, he formed Edafos Dance Theatre in 1986 as an initial vehicle for his original stage productions, hybrids of physical theatre, experimental dance, and performance art. Papaioannou became widely known in 2004, as the creator of the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the ATHENS 2004 Olympic Games. He then created NOWHERE (2009) for the inauguration of the renovated Greek National Theatre, INSIDE (2011) for the Pallas Theater, PRIMAL MATTER (2012) for the Athens Festival, STILL LIFE (2014), the first work that toured extensively around the world, and the Opening Ceremony for the Baku 2015 First European Games. In 2017, he created THE GREAT TAMER, which in 2019 became his first work to be presented in Japan. In 2018, Dimitris became the first artist to create a new, full-length work for Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch after the death of its founder. In 2020, Dimitris created and performed a duet piece INK. His latest work TRANSVERSE ORIENTATION (2021) premiered in June 2021 and was nominated for this year’s Laurence Olivier Award. It is now on tour to more than 30 countries.
