2 was produced in collaboration with the electronic music composer K.BHTA for the production company Elliniki Theamaton. A 'dissection of the male psyche', the production commanded a large of amount of Greek press attention, not least for its open references to homosexuality. 2 proved a commercial success; its run was extended twice and over 100,000 tickets were sold in total.

The work seems to draw upon a range of influences, including the work of Jean Genet, Rene Magritte and Robert Wilson. Inspiration for the show also came partly from Papaioannou's experiences as a gay man in Greece. Contemporary magazine described 2 as an 'inspiring' work that 'captures the zeitgeist'.
