Following *Landless*, a solo piece presented at the second edition of the Lugano Dance Project, Christos Papadopoulos returns to the LAC with *My Fierce Ignorant Step*, an intimate and personal work inspired by the choreographer’s childhood memories of sound as well as by collective experiences that bind many Greeks to the fate of their country.

A performance that celebrates the euphoria of being alive. Ten dancers bring to life an ecstatic soundscape from which the choreography emerges. Memories and sounds, voices and bodies: everything resonates like a musical instrument, gradually building a sense of shared elation.
The Greek choreographer’s new work—minimalist and rigorous—explores the moment when movement becomes song; a song in which the dancers’ bodies vibrate and, through them, the bodies of the audience can also resonate.
A new, luminous, and expansive work, capable of enchanting, that speaks of firsts: of our encounters, our laughter, the discovery of life, as well as our beginnings—intense and passionate.
On stage, a collective body pulses and moves forward, its gaze open to what is to come.
Breath becomes voice and guides the movement—now expansive, now subtle, but always decisive, almost weightless. The bodies breathe; the breaths become sound, then voice and gesture: a gallop that grows without ceasing.
