Dimitris Papaioannou stages performance for Rosalia's tour premiere

On March 16, director Dimitris Papaioannou collaborated with Spanish pop artist Rosalia for the opening of her new tour, the LUX Tour. The event took place at the LDLC Arena in Lyon, France. During the performance, Papaioannou integrated an act featuring visual references to the Venus de Milo statue and actress Rita Hayworth. The artist was presented as a living sculpture, blending classical iconography with contemporary pop staging. This appearance marks the official start of Rosalia's tour, which follows her previous Motomami tour. Papaioannou confirmed his participation via social media with a behind-the-scenes update. International media outlets have characterized this new production as more theatrical than the singer's previous work. The performance serves as a creative intersection between classical form and modern stage production.
