Χρηστίνα Λιακοπούλου

Το χοροθέατρο Νόστος ιδρύθηκε το 1989 από τη Χρηστίνα Λιακοπούλου και τη Vivian Kunert στη Χαϊδελβέργη της Γερμανίας. Είναι ένα ελεύθερο καλλιτεχνικό σχήμα το οποίο συνεργάζεται με χορευτές, ηθοποιούς, μουσικούς και εκπροσώπους εικαστικών τεχνών.

Το ύφος των δρώμενων βασίζεται στη σύνθεση στοιχείων σύγχρονου χορού, street dance, capoeira, physical theater και tango argentino. Η θεματική τους εμπνέεται από κείμενα της νέας ελληνικής, γερμανικής και  λατινοαμερικάνικης λογοτεχνίας, τα οποία έχουν διασκευαστεί για τις ανάγκες των παραστάσεων από τη Χρηστίνα  Λιακοπούλου. Το χοροθέατρο Νόστος έχει παρουσιάσει έργα του σε θεατρικές σκηνές των πόλεων Mannheim, Wuppertal. Dresden, Goettingen, Schwerin, Koblenz.

Η Χρηστίνα Λιακοπούλου με τη ιδιότητα της ως χορογράφου συνεργάζεται σήμερα σε παραστάσεις χοροθεάτρου, θεάτρου και όπερας σε διάφορες σκηνές της Γερμανίας.
