SUMMARY:Bless You! (It’s a Pollen Fiasco)
DESCRIPTION:Twenty clowns\, third-year students from the Athens Conservatory Drama School\, take over Plato’s Academy\, sharing smiles and spontaneity.\n\nUnder the direction of Ilias Kounelas and Maria Menegaki\, they invite us to see the world through their eyes: a place where a clown kneels beside the flowers so as not to tower over them. A moment full of freedom and emotion\, celebrating the value of “being together” most uniquely and unpredictably.

SUMMARY:Guided Tour: AFTER - Giorgos Tserionis & Performance: Homo Urbanus Audit
DESCRIPTION:The Municipal Gallery of Athens presents a unique event centred around the exhibition “AFTER.”\n\nThe event begins with an exclusive walkthrough led by artist Giorgos Tserionis and curator Matina Tsigkakou\, who will explore the life cycle of homo urbanus\, shedding light on the hidden aspects of the urban narrative that define the exhibition. The experience culminates with the provocative performance “Homo urbanus audit” by Alex Louloudis. The internationally acclaimed drummer and composer activates Tserionis’ installation\, transforming it into a living sonic field. Using sounds inspired by the urban landscape\, Louloudis builds and deconstructs auditory structures\, challenging us to become “active listeners” and reflect on our relationship with the sonic stimuli and memories that saturate daily life in the modern city.

SUMMARY:Fun Vibes Family Festival
DESCRIPTION:One of the city’s most beautiful green lungs is being transformed into a massive playground for a day. As part of the This is Athens City Festival\, Rizari Park is hosting an all-day fest dedicated to kids\, families\, and the pure joy of getting active.\n\nThink of it as the ultimate outdoor reset. Through a mix of sports\, games\, and creative activities\, this is a chance for families to bond away from the glow of their screens. Whether you’re competing in team games or trying out new wellness activities\, the focus is on teamwork\, well-being\, and all-around joy.\n\nIt’s the perfect excuse to grab the trainers\, round up the kids\, and head to the park for a day of fresh air and high energy. In a city as bustling as Athens\, this is a rare moment to slow down (or speed up!) and reconnect with nature and each other through play.\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

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:It’s Story Time
DESCRIPTION:The This is Athens City Festival hosts a theatrical performance by the Athens Conservatoire Drama School titled “It’s Story Time” at Drakopoulou Park. Six short narratives\, inspired by iconic works of the classical and contemporary repertoire\, come to life under the direction of Sofia Paschou and Alexandros Chrysanthopoulos. With storytelling as the ultimate theatrical tool\, the performers explore different modes of expression\, alternating voices\, roles\, and perspectives.\n\nThe stage transforms into a living laboratory where the story is not simply presented\, but “built” in real-time before the eyes of the audience. This is a collective narrative exercise that bets on the power of presence and imagination\, offering a unique theatrical experience in the heart of the city.
