Creation for 14 dancers
World premiere on March 6th 2025 in Bergen (NO)
HOW ROMANTIC is a highly physical piece, exploring the complexities of relationships and power dynamics. Inspired by the elusive pursuit of love as a goal, the piece merges dance and music in a performance that favors authenticity over perfection.
Set on an open stage with no set design, the production underscores the Greek choreographer’s commitment to sustainability. By directing all focus to the dancers’ movements, the creation emphasizes the raw yet beautiful physicality. The evocative soundscape, created in collaboration with Danish composer Adam Christensen, infuses the piece with sorrow, tenderness, and emotional depth.
HOW ROMANTIC invites the audience on a visceral journey, connecting with the raw expression of human effort.
Katerina Andreou
As a performer, she has worked with artists such as DD Dorvillier, Anne Lise Le Gac, Lenio Kaklea, Bryan Campbell, Dinis Machado, Emmanuelle Huynh, and Ana Rita Teodoro.
Her choreographic language aims to achieve states of presence arising from the constant interaction between various opposing, even contradictory, tasks, fictions and universes, frequently challenging concepts of authority and censorship. She designs a distinct physical practice for each project and composes the sound environment for her works, which becomes a central element of her dramaturgy.
In 2016, she won the Jardin d’Europe prize at the ImpulsTanz festival for her solo «A kind of fierce». She subsequently created the solo «BSTRD» in 2018 and the duet «Zeppelin Bend» in 2020 with Natali Mandila. Her most recent creation, «Mourn Baby Mourn», was presented in 2022.

BIRGET; Ways to deal, Ways to heal
Based on the Sámi expression "Birget", which means "to face and survive in a changing environment", the play explores the way in which the State deals with its own colonial heritage, both pedagogically and critically. Sara et Nango
MONUMENT 0.10: The Living Monument
In the performance series MONUMENT, Eszter Salamon creates a world with its own logic. The new work, created with Carte Blanche and entitled The Living Monument, explores the monument as an emancipatory space resisting oblivion and exclusion.
