Body as Space

© Luca Del Pia

A Greek artist of rare finesse and originality, Christos Papadopoulos brings bak Landless to the stage, performed by Georgios Kotsifakis. Over the years, the choreographer’s work has approached movement as a hidden secret, focusing on its elementary and everyday characteristics. Landless specifically explores the body’s ability to become its own architecture, transforming into an unfamiliar landscape, in order to sketch a new perspective on its basic functions and movement.

Christos Papadopoulos’ Most Personal Work

© Christos Papadopoulos

With My Fierce Ignorant Step (Working Title), Papadopoulos seeks to consciously process the influence that “Axion Esti”—the monumental work by Mikis Theodorakis founded on the poetry of Odysseas Elytis—exerted on him, exploring the extent to which sound and speech can dilate and reach a state of abstraction that alludes to that of a movement: a lifted arm, an oscillating body, a trembling leg.

For the choreographer, the first impulse for the creation of “My Fierce Ignorant Step (Working Title)” is grounded in aural memories of his childhood and younger age, memories that he shares with many other Greeks: collective memories that are connected with the fate of this country, even if this is not immediately apparent. Is it possible to work on a text with the same composition principles applied to the choreography of a body? How close to words can a body come, and vice versa? Can this turn into a shared, transparent, and simple experience?

Harmony, Precision, Cohesion

© Jubal Battisti

A body that is outwardly still and inwardly vibrating – what processes does the energy undergo before it breaks through? How does it change when the body matures?

In his new production Mellowing, Christos Papadopoulos embarks on his inaugural collaboration with the dancers of the Dance On Ensemble. Together they create a lively restlessness, a permanent vibration in which the spectator is inevitably involved.

Christos Papadopoulos’ works are fed by an intensely observant approach to movement and often unfold a lively and meditative power. His attention is focused on the minimal shifts of perception, the perpetual, often unnoticed and yet powerful movements that are ever-present in nature, in everyday life, within physical phenomena and political contexts.

Christos Papadopoulos – Ties Unseen

September 26th – 28th, 2024 LIVE STREAMS

Part of NDT 1 Program “Architecture of the Invisible” with revisit of Jiří Kylián’s Vanishing Twin (2008) and Clowns by Hofesh Shechter (2016).

A Minimalist NDT

© Nederlands Dans Theater

Christos Papadopoulos’ new work explores our subtle, everyday social connections, revealing the beauty within the most profound connections that often go unnoticed. Drawing from the unadorned fabric of the human experience, the choreographer illustrates the simplicity of shared moments: the unspoken understanding between friends, silent nods of solidarity among strangers, and the quiet resilience threaded through collective struggles.

A new voice for NDT, the Greek-born choreographer favours a minimalist and precise language of movement. Through small gestures that belie an intense physicality, Papadopoulos has created an ode to the power of invisible forces and transports the audience to a mysterious space in which there is neither beginning nor end.
