Epilogue

Lead GNO & Tour Supporter

In collaboration

FEDORA Platform and The Creative Europe Programme of the European Union

The Greek National Opera’s Professional Dance School takes part in the 31st Kalamata International Dance Festival with the contemporary dance diptych Epilogue, under the guidance of its Head of Studies, Yorghos Matskaris, featuring choreographies by Ermira Goro and Edοuard Hue.

The globally acclaimed Greek dancer and choreographer Ermira Goro will present her new creation, Skipping On Stardust, commissioned by the GNO Professional Dance School. In it, movement turns into a vibrant dialogue between the body, space, and emotions. Dancers shape images that sometimes flow gently and at other times explode, creating a dialogue between light and shadow, tension and peace. This piece does not follow a linear narrative; instead, it unfolds like a physical poem, open to interpretation.

The internationally celebrated French choreographer and founder of the Beaver Dam Company, Edouard Hue, recomposes, especially for the GNO Dance School, an excerpt from the second act of his work Dive. Here, instinct strips movement, leading it to its purest form – shaped by directness, impulse, and necessity. The performers expose the creative process, revealing a dance that is both deeply personal and exciting.
