BALLET2000 English Edition  |  BALLET2000 n°288
In this issue we explore the latest work of an auteur who does not call himself a choreographer but who for several years has been increasingly establishing himself as one of the most interesting creators on the contemporary dance scene. The bull on our cover moves solemnly and enigmatically across the stage in Transverse Orientation, operated by a group of performers who don’t dance but who are unmistakably dancers, stripped “bare” (in all senses), like the myths they seem to be evoking. The work, by Dimitris Papaioannou, was recently seen at the main European festivals and will continue to tour the world.
