Ink
A DELUGE OF WATER AND SENSUALITY, AS AN INK-BODY AND A PAPER-BODY REWRITE MYTHOLOGY.
Two men, two bodies, two ages, an octopus and a newborn baby. Set somewhere between the apocalypse and eroticism is the struggle between the old and the new, between nature and culture. With Ink, Dimitris Papaioannou has daringly devised a torrential metaphor for existence, the quintessence of his choreographic art and of uncanny intensity on stage. Indeed, each work presented by the master from Athens is a tribute to both flesh and senses, is baroque and futuristic. His work, so steeped in the history of European art and myths of archetypical figures of the human race, now stands acclaimed in a lofty position at the pinnacle of living art, of the performing arts.
