Addio Addio Amore - a piece for Pina

A one-way ticket on an expressive, reflective journey through Japan, India, Greece, France, South America, and most importantly, life. Daphnis Kokkinos gestures, opening his hands lightly, revealing stories, experiences, anecdotes, exchanges and dreams that he shared with late, Pina Bausch, in a passionate and moving dance theatre performance.

In his homage to Pina, Daphnis raises a glass, ‘chin chin…’ and draws on his worldliness to stimulate the audience with situations of humanity in his continuing exploration of human vicissitudes. His performance is an offering for all Pina gave in love, humanity, respect, humour and artistry to her colleagues, performers and the world.

Daphnis has spent the last twenty-five years dancing, collaborating, and most recently fulfilling the role of rehearsal assistant, for Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch. This is the first time Daphnis has stepped out from the company to present his own work Addio Addio Amore - Α piece for Pina.
