SUMMARY:Cracks in the Narrative: A Performance Walk
DESCRIPTION:The students of the Athens Conservatoire Drama School\, under the guidance of Professor Antonis Volanakis\, invite us to rediscover the city centre through a subversive new lens. The iconic Athenian Trilogy (the Academy\, the University\, and the National Library)\, the Korai 4 Memorial\, and Klafthmonos Square are no longer monuments “frozen” in time. Instead\, they awaken and find a new voice through the bodies and performances of the city’s rising talent.\n\nIn this unique urban takeover\, the traditional guided tour makes way for a performance that seeks out the “cracks” in the official story of Athens. It’s an invitation to listen to the city itself as it speaks of knowledge\, forgetting\, and the living present. Moving between these historic urban stages\, the action unfolds in the open air\, proving that history is a living pulse\, not a museum piece. \n\nStudents: Agapi Theodoridou\, Angeliki Andreadaki\, Alexandros Kavrakos\, Antonis Lymperis\, Georgianna Zouganeli\, Giannis Bariamis\, Giannis Fountas\, Zoe Tsirouki\, Kleio Christopoulou\, Lefteris Argyros\, Manos Karanikolas\, Marlen Kypriotaki\, Markella Papadimitriou\, Panagiotis Regkas\, Stella Selpesi\, Tasos Bekyros\, Filemon Adamou\, Christos Kekridis\, Christina Karakosta\, Christina Mitrousia.

SUMMARY:Papazó
DESCRIPTION:The historic Dexameni Square\, with its old-school Athenian charm and the cool breeze of Lycabettus lingering in the air\, becomes the stage for a major musical takeover headlined by Papazó. Vassilis Papazotos\, songwriter\, music producer\, and medical doctor\, brings the vibrant energy and effortless connection that made his viral music videos and unexpected collaborations a local sensation.\nThe signature “musical salon” he built online is moving to the physical stage for an open-air concert featuring an incredible roster of guests. The night strikes a perfect balance between contemporary urban culture and the warmth of a massive parea (group of friends)\, breathing new life into beloved tracks and making the entire square feel like one big choir. It’s a spring stroll that evolves into one of the most soulful and electric musical highlights of this year’s festival.
