As much as Ioannis Mandafounis is influenced by the innovations that were made in dance improvisation in the second half of the 20th century, his artistic journey is also that of a ballet dancer. To pay tribute to this double heritage he will create a duo that contrasts classical dance technique with the development of improvisational dance and his own method of live-choreography. This is a deep dive both into dance history and into the biography of a dancer. The passion, the grit, the endurance, glamour, doubts, triumphs and injuries – it’s all fiction and it’s all true.
