Harmony, Precision, Cohesion

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.

Dance, Eat and Unite!

Beytna is a unique dance performance around the concept of sharing, where four choreographers and four musicians from Lebanon, Korea, Palestine, Belgium, and Togo come together over a banquet of food. Despite their diverse cultural backgrounds and artistic experiences, they reshape a communal and traditional family reunion into an artistic meeting of dance, music, and cooking.

Witness as they talk, drink, laugh, dance, and eat, transforming this simple gathering into an intricate, captivating performance. Beytna invites you into a world of compassion, and friendship. It is a simple invitation into the home of the other. An invitation to the artist’s profession and choreographic statement, as much as it is to the forms and situations of the past.
