DIMITRIS PAPAIOANNOU | TRANSVERSE ORIENTATION

Part of Dance Umbrella Festival 2021 | 21-23 October, Sadler’s Wells, London Dimitris Papaioannou returns to Dance Umbrella for the third time following his sold-out debut in 2016 and 2018’s sold-out and Olivier-nominated production The Great Tamer. Summoning an entirely distinctive universe once more for his latest work, Transverse Orientation is co-commissioned by Dance Umbrella and Sadler’s Wells. A true master of visual spectacle, the Greek artist explores existential themes, mining mythology and art history to conjure vivid and often humorous imagery. Taking inspiration from the natural behaviour of moths to seek light, Transverse Orientation follows the human compulsion to find meaning on the journey of life.
