Born in Athens (1991), Angelos Papadopoulos is a dance artist and a director who steers purposely clear off the camera. He is a graduate of the Athens University of Economics and Business (an economist, not an accountant) and of the National School of Dance (KSOT) in Athens.
Ιn his work, Angelos is particularly interested in the notion of identity, especially his own. He studies his Ego from a psychoanalytic and transcendental vantage point and uses ART to conduct auto-psychoanalysis. He invites his friends and relatives but also complete strangers to rehearsals and shootings and together they study —a word he loves and hates at the same time— the idea of time and commercial value (he is a fervent admirer of the human body, words and money, um, the people). He is constantly performing, dancing, choreographing and directing, especially in the context of house parties. He has dreams of winning a Palme d’Or at the Cannes Festival and believes in the hands-on approach encapsulated in Ernesto Che Guevara’s quip: realism means pursuing the impossible.
