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

NEW ARTISTIC COLLABORTORS
Dimitris Papaioannou, developing the final version of INK
that will premiere in Athens, includes new artistic collaborators:
The contemporary music composer
Kornilios Selamsis created new original music
Teodor Currentzis, conducted and recorded the music
with musicAeterna in Berlin, offering the recording as a gift for INK.
Canadian sound designer David Blouin designs the soundscapes of the performance,
amplifying and distorting the sounds produced live on stage by water and bodies.
The 22-year-old Frenchman Lucien Laborderie, joined Dimitris Papaioannou
and Stefanos Droussiotis in redesigning the lighting for the show.
