The highlight, though, was the theatrical masterpiece by avant-garde stage director, Dimitris Papaioannou. …in his new work, SISYPHUS, an excerpt from the full-length piece STILL LIFE, Papaioannou again combines dance with a single object to create a mythic experience. This time it is Sisyphus struggling with a great, crumbling wall. At times the wall seems to devour Sisyphus, at other moments the wall appears to give birth to him. Minimal, directly concerned with the body and with the body’s place on the physical plane of the stage, as well as the metaphorical plane of the story, Papaioannou conjures simple, spellbinding magic. Gabrielle Selz on Dimitris Papaioannous SISYPHUS performance at Robert Wilsons Summer Benefit Gala for The Watermill Center, writing in the Hamptons Art Hub (1 August 2014).
