The Greek National Opera Ballet presents four MicroDances, short dance performances (approximately 10 minutes long), choreographed by Yannis Nikolaidis, Elena Kekkou and Konstantinos Rigou. The four dance installations — Asphalt Knight, Active Motive, Forget Me Not and Bolero — designed for one dancer and a limited space, will be performed at the Bazeos Tower. The aim is to highlight dance as a public art form and to reconcile it with places that have significant historical and symbolic character.
