SUMMARY:Fairy Tales in the Museum Courtyard: Electra Nega
DESCRIPTION:This activity is only available in Greek.\n\nShh… A story is about to begin…\nOutside the window of my childhood room\, in the backyard of the house where I grew up\, my grandfather had dug a huge well. It wasn’t covered\, only carefully fenced with wire mesh by my father\, “so no child falls in\,” as he used to say. I never got close to the well\, I was afraid. Not because “I might fall in\,” but because I knew that at the bottom of the well lived a large water snake with a golden crown on its head. I could hear it singing at night with the frogs…\n\nI am Ilektra Nega\, a storyteller of the oral traditions of the world’s peoples.\nCome and join us for storytelling\, about small and large heroes\, who\, with faith in themselves and love in their hearts\, achieved what seemed impossible to all.\n\nAlexander Kontogeorgakopoulos is an academic and artist\, whose interdisciplinary work bridges art\, science\, and technology. He is an Assistant Professor of Interactive Arts at the Department of Digital Arts and Cinema of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.\n\nStorytelling by: Ilektra Nega\nMusic by: Alexander Kontogeorgakopoulos

SUMMARY:First Cemetery of Athens: An Open-Air Sculpture Gallery
DESCRIPTION:This activity is only available in Greek.\n\nArchaeologist and guide Michalis Giohalas leads a tour through the sculpture garden of the First Cemetery of Athens\, in collaboration with the This is Athens City Festival.\n\nDescribed in the early 20th century by sculptor Thomas Thomopoulos as encompassing “the entire movement of modern sculpture\,” the cemetery stands as an open-air museum where art\, memory and history coexist.\n\nFrom the great names of Greek sculpture to the personal stories behind the graves\, this walk offers a fascinating journey through time. It reveals little-known aspects of funerary art in modern Greece—along with very human tales of vanity\, greed\, artistic rivalries and unfulfilled love.

SUMMARY:Skiadareses Live
DESCRIPTION:The Skiadareses—twin sisters Olga and Niki—take over Koumoundourou Square for a one-off live show. From the moment they began writing songs in a small bedroom\, it seemed destined that their music would find its way online and strike a chord with thousands.\n\nTheir songs are raw\, honest and refreshingly unfiltered—stories of love\, heartbreak\, joy and sorrow that resonate far beyond personal experience. Capturing the emotional uncertainty not just of their own generation\, but of anyone who’s ever felt deeply\, they bring authenticity to the stage\, one lyric at a time.
