SEVEN ADDITIONAL INK PERFORMANCES IN ATHENS!
We have scheduled seven new performances of INK, after the immediate sold out of the first nine announced shows. In five of the new performances, Haris Fragoulis will be performing the role that Dimitris Papaioannou created for himself. This surprise is the result of the collaboration between the two artists for the completion of INK: Haris Fragoulis entered the process as associate director, helping to develop the role, and Dimitris Papaioannou, impressed by his performative genius, decided to share with him the performances not only in Athens but also in the world tour that follows.
In the additional Athens performances, we will see: On January 29, Dimitris Papaioannou at 20:00 | On January 18, 22, 25 + 28, Haris Fragoulis at 20:00 | On January 23, Dimitris Papaioannou at 17:30 and Haris Fragoulis at 20:00.
Ticket sales and the Megaron box office open on Monday, 19 December, at 10:00 > TICKET LINK <

TRANSVERSE ORIENTATION (2021) Photograph by Julian Mommert
The new creation of Dimitris is here. We are ready, but will never be complete until we meet you live in the theater! Watch the trailer.
During these uncertain times, the hospitality of ONASSIS STEGI has been unbelievable. For two entire months, they entrusted us with their main stage and
extraordinary staff to complete the creation. It is on this very stage that the world premiere will take place, whenever theaters open again. We are grateful.
