Dance With My Own Shadow – Manos Hadjidakis -Programme – Season 2020/21
€8.00
The Greek National Opera Ballet presented at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus on 27 and 29 July 2021 for two unique performances of the exceptionally successful production Dance With My Own Shadow with music by Manos Hadjidakis and choreography by Konstantinos Rigos.
In Dance With My Own Shadow –a production that premiered in the GNO Stavros Niarchos Hall at the SNFCC in November 2019–, GNO Ballet Director Konstantinos Rigos choreographed four unique works by the great Manos Hadjidakis for the Greek National Opera Ballet. In the C.N.S. Cycle, the rough sea forms the setting for loss and pain, in Captain Michalis the humid southerly wind blowing at night “falls upon women like a man, and upon men like a woman”, in the Accursed Serpent Karagiozis’ figure stands out as a symbol of the timeless folk art, and in Gioconda’s Smile New York becomes the luxurious and noisy setting for loneliness and despair of modern life.
