How do you express feelings of loss about everything that passes?

What would the soundtrack of farewell sound like? Or a last dance? For Ioanna Paraskevopoulou, this might be the buzzing of a vacuum cleaner, the scraping of a snow shovel or a home video of a family reunion. These are building blocks for creating a ritual environment, in which new forms of connection and meaning can emerge.

All of My Love takes its name from Led Zeppelin's rock ballad in which frontman Robert Plant pays tribute to his late son. Greek choreographer Ioanna Paraskevopoulou was inspired by the reflection on the mystery of transience expressed in the song. It prompted her to create her own 'narration' of feelings around loss and farewell.

All of My Love is a choreographic composition of memories in image, sound, and movement. But at the same time it's a love letter and a universal tribute to those who are no longer with us. Paraskevopoulou creates a dynamic landscape where nothing stands still and everything is constantly changing. This leads to a powerful, sensory experience that explores and challenges the boundaries of loss.

About Ioanna Paraskevopoulou

Ioanna Paraskevopoulou describes All of My Love as a kinetic and sonic cry for everything that is not there, for everything that ends. And for everything that exists and transforms. "It is a peek into the closet of emotions, the repository of events that have become history. Painful and inevitable. Personal and shared."
