The Thread, a hugely successful Greek/international production, that held audiences and critics spellbound at the Mecca of dance, at Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London, returns to the Athens Concert Hall for five performances in November and two performances in early December. The Thread combines two worlds that are seemingly contrary and disparate, but essentially inextricably intertwined. The world of tradition, representing stability and extroversion, meets the world of modern movement, which requires continuous introspection and sheds light upon deep affinities that people hesitate to accept.
Director and choreographer Russell Maliphant manages to deconstruct and recompose the dance forms of the past and create a new form that harmoniously brings together traditional and contemporary dance. The choreography is based on Vangelis Papathanasiou’s original music, while costume design is by the rising and highly creative designer Mary Katrantzou, and Michael Hulls, the ‘choreographer of the light’, creates a unique setting that will leave audiences speechless.
Event Dates: November 20 - 24 & December 3-4 2019 - Alexandra Trianti Hall, Megaron
