Mystical imagery and dark atmosphere. Greek tradition is deconstructed and linked with the present, as the legendary Dance of Zalongos inspires an original choreography. Two young, internationally acclaimed choreographers, Danae Dimitriadi and Dionysios Alamanos, carry the emotionally charged dance on the edge of the cliff to the stage, featuring original music and choreography inspired by traditional dances, Greek and foreign alike. A performance that vividly brings to life the creatures of the natural world.
Free At Last premiered in June 2019, produced by Theater Rotterdam, with the support of Stichting Droom en Daad, RIDCC and Big Story Productions. The Free At Last: Rerooted version will be presented for the first time at the Athens Festival 2021.
