SUPERSTAR

SUPERSTAR
Griffón Dance Co.

“It’s better to burn out than to fade away.”
-Kurt Cobain 

The new performance by Ioanna Portolou and  Griffón dance company explores the notion of identity, personal boundaries and the search for constant recognition in a voracious world.

With a backdrop of a ring-like stage space, the three dancers create an otherworldly and wild performance, exploring the transformation of the self according to Western standards of beauty and success.

Through an archive of images, movement materials and narratives, “Superstar” attempts to converse with the internal contradictions behind public glamour and becomes an existential question of how far we are willing to go.
