SUMMARY:Apprenticeship Walk: 20 plus 1 Stops
DESCRIPTION:This activity is only availble in Greek. \n\nOfficially designated a historic site\, the National Garden (formerly the Royal Garden) is a calm eye in the storm of central Athens—a space of serenity surrounded by the city’s intensity\, steeped in memory and history. Among the 500 species of plants brought here from around the world under Queen Amalia’s watchful eye\, marble figures wait quietly: Dionysios Solomos\, Aristotle Valaoritis\, Jean Moréas\, Ioannis Kapodistrias and Ioannis Eynard—emblematic figures from an era of visionary leadership in Greece. In this poetic promenade\, writer-director Thodoris Gonis invites audiences to follow the traces of these permanent Garden residents—poets\, politicians\, botanists and engineers—through the documents\, letters and texts that shaped the garden’s story. At its heart is the 20-year-old queen who once dreamt it into being. \n\nConcept & Direction: Thodoris Gonis\n\nDramaturgy: Thodoris Gonis\, Eleni Stroulia\n\nCostumes: Matina Megkla \n\nCast: Eleni Ouzounidou\, Thanasis Dimou\, Roxani Karfi\, Christina Chalkia \n\nMusicians: Paris Kimionis\, Danai Tsironi

SUMMARY:Lykeion ton Ellinidon
DESCRIPTION:The Lykeion of Greek Women (L.G.W.)\, a non-profit organization\, was founded in 1911 by Kallirroi Sigano-Parren\, a pioneer of the feminist movement and volunteering in Greece.\n\nThe organization is structured into various sections\, established to fully achieve its multiple objectives. The 1911 charter included only 4 sections\, each divided into smaller committees. Today\, the Lykeion consists of 17 sections\, one of which is the National Dances Section.\n\nThe Lykeion’s Dance Group will present a program of representative traditional Greek dances\, accompanied by live traditional music\, providing the audience with the opportunity to admire the diversity of Greek regional costumes.

SUMMARY:Fairy Tales in the Garden: Sassa Voulgari
DESCRIPTION:This activity is only available in Greek.\n\nThe Tears of the Earth: The Animals that Speak\, the Trees that Ache…\n\nTrees that hide fairies\, magical fruits\, humble ants\, ducks\, lions\, wolves\, storks\, and proud eagles that gratefully return the good deeds done to them\, people who transform into birds\, trees\, and stars… So much and more is hidden in the magic of old fairy tales! From the ends of the earth and from the depths of time\, old legends and cosmogonic myths reveal to us that all creatures of this earth were once siblings. Animals\, Plants\, and Humans\, we are inseparable parts of our vast world\, with our common destiny being the great Journey of Life with all its adventures and all its beauty. Besides\, “Kosmos” (World) in our beautiful language means ornament!\n\nSasa Voulgari\, a pioneer of neo-narration in Greece\, unravels her fairy tales “as if singing them\,” with vocal improvisations and melismas\, and accompanies them with her strange musical instruments from all over the world.\n\nThe narration lasts approximately 60 to 70 minutes. It is suitable for children from 5 to 115 years old!
