Από τα Παραμύθια στη Φαντασία

A play based on 12 classic fairy tales. We will “walk” while dancing on paths with hidden complex meanings, turning fairy tales into fantasy through a postmodern approach. Hunting for survival, fear of the unknown, innocence, bullying, curiosity, courage, loneliness, insomnia-anxieties, manipulation, beauty-vanity, society and gossip, time that flies—all unfold before the viewer through an amalgam of various scenes from twelve fairy tales.

Choreography: Vanessa Haska
Costume design: Eleni Sfika Papavasileiou
