Filmed in a studio in Kypseli, Adam Khalil’s solo is being turned into a digital fairytale-manifesto against the patriarchy and gendered stereotypes by Vasilis Vilaras.

A dark fairytale by Hans Christian Anderson about a girl doomed to dance herself to death. A legendary 1948 dance film. A femme boy coming of age in Athens, dancing in red shoes. Director Vasilis Vilaras has brought these three elements together to create “RED RIDING SHOES”, a piece that blurs the boundaries between reality and fiction, with the 18-year-old Polish-Egyptian performer and model Adam Khalil (aka terpsichorree) in the lead role.
