A co-production
In collaboration
The Ballet of the Greek National Opera tours Greece with the sci-fi dance performance Future Cargo by Frauke Requardt & David Rosenberg, which takes place inside a futuristic truck. Future Cargo delivers the delicate integrity of a deeply intimate experience within a large-scale dance spectacle. The show takes place inside a 40-foot haulage truck, which appears to be carrying a mystery shipment. As the sides roll up, its unusual stage is revealed – a transparent polycarbonate plastic window that allows audiences to see inside.
Four GNO Ballet dancers perform on a moving conveyor belt, showcasing a fascinating movement language that explores the concept of performing within an extremely confined space. Audience members receive a pair of headphones upon arrival, allowing them to hear inside the container and experience the show’s immersive music as well as the world within in a unique way. This special show is a captivating blend of surreal reality and everyday life elements. The performance is aimed at both dance enthusiasts of all ages and those seeking new experiences through the arts.
The tour started from the Cyclades (Paros – 4/7, Naxos – 6/7, Syros – 11/7) while the premiere took place at the 31st Kalamata International Dance Festival on 19/7. Meanwhile, the tour in the Peloponnese has already began (Sparta – 20/7, Astros – 21/7), as part of the Kalamata International Dance Festival and its outreach programme “Dancing in the Cities of the Peloponnese”, which runs for a fifth consecutive year in collaboration with the Peloponnese Region and the Municipalities of the involved cities.
