Extra show of Greek dance theatre director Dimitris Papaioannou’s “The Great Tamer”

     Renowned Greek dance theatre director Dimitris Papaioannou will bring his dance work "The Great Tamer" to Hong Kong for its local debut in June. In view of the overwhelming response to the two shows on June 14 and 15, an extra show will be presented. Details are as follows:

Date and time: June 13 (Thursday), 7.45pm
Venue: Grand Theatre, Hong Kong Cultural Centre

     In 2017, Papaioannou staged his first internationally co-commissioned work "The Great Tamer".

It features 10 performers whose flawless collaboration looks into the deepest, darkest parts of the human soul. This presentation is part of an international tour.
