A theatrical performance about the space someone leaves behind

The music theatre performance Our Love Began Here, and Here It Will End by Dimitra Sofroniou explores womanhood, gender-based violence, absence, memory, and grief. There is no explicit violence in the performance; instead, it focuses on what remains: tension in a space, a body that cannot find rest, a voice that only breaks through later.

Sofroniou transforms the stage into a bedroom set in Athens. Through audio excerpts from Greek news broadcasts and personal memories, the audience becomes part of the unfolding story. The title of the performance stems from a handwritten note found in the home of a 56-year-old man who murdered his wife Anna in Kavala (Greece) in September 2022. 

Dimitra Sofroniou (1996) is a composer, performer and sound artist from Athens, Greece. She recently obtained her master’s degree in Composition from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. Her work is characterised by a strong interest in the interplay between sound and visual elements. She composes music for performances, art installations, films, and video games, and has been nominated for the for Music Theatre Now’s 2025–2026 Creators Connection Program. 

Please note:

The performance explores themes of gender-based violence and femicide and might be distressing to some audience members.

Only standing room tickets are available for this concert.
