Isadora Duck by Stella Michailidou

Production: Greek National Opera – Alternative Stage
GNO Major Donor: Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF)

The Thessaloniki Concert Hall is transformed into a whimsical “Swan Lake,” where a small duck sets out to find her own path in dance. Inspired by the pioneer of modern dance, the “barefoot dancer” Isadora Duncan, as well as classic fairy tales such as Hans Christian Andersen’s The Ugly Duckling, the performance introduces Isadora Duck, a little duck with dazzling blue feathers who dreams of becoming a ballerina.

The passion and will for dance form the heart of the performance, which succeeds in speaking with simplicity about fundamental values, offering the audience a tender yet at times harsh adventure of self-discovery, carried by music, dance, and humor.
