Superstar

Feb Mar 2026 Plyfa Space Athens Griffon Dance Company
"It's better to burn out than to fade away"
Neil Young, 1979

Superstar, the new work by Ioanna Portolou and the Griffón Dance Company, is an electrifying work about excess. It explores the spectrum of identity, personal boundaries, and the pursuit of constant recognition within an insatiable system.

Inside a boxing ring and with the audience just a breath away, three female dancers create an otherworldly and feral concert, testing limits and transforming the stage into a voracious arena in which spectacle always takes precedence.

Drawing from an archive of pop images, concert movement material and narratives of personal destruction, Superstar attempts to engage with the inner contradiction hiding behind the spotlight, becoming an existential question of how far we can go – or dare to go – before we fade away.
