LAPIS LAZULI

Fonderie Limone – Sala Grande | Big Pulse Dance Alliance
October 22nd, 23rd 2024 – 8.45 PM | NATIONAL DEBUT

Euripides Laskaridis | Osmosis

Euripides Laskaridis, a Greek artist representing the nouvelle vague of Hellenic contemporary creativity with a touch of originality, arrives for the first time at Torinodanza with a creation making its national debut, supported by the Big Pulse Dance Alliance network. Lapis Lazuli is the title, referring to various influences, including freak films from the ’40s and the radical monochrome blue of Yves Klein. On stage, the
artist embodies a restless creature, a wild werewolf, a hybrid beast, half human and half animal, liberating his fearsome and fierce side while also revealing his vulnerable, sensitive, and naive self.
