Golden City – Μυστήριο Κανάλι

From June 10th to July 16th, an electronic communication bridge between Eleusis and Bremen will be set up; two cities which share similar characteristics (sea, harbours, inactive industrial buildings, etc.). This is the “Golden City – Mystirio Kanali”, which is based on an idea of the German musician and director Frauke Wilhelm, who collaborated with the artists from Greece: Dimitra Gliati, Nadia Kavoulakou, Dimitris Babilis, Tatiana Pitta, Adrian Frieling and Katerina Maoutsou, as well as with Eleusis 2021 European Capital of Culture.

Webcams will run permanently to record every action inside the areas and broadcast it to a big screen at the other (and vice versa), giving the impression of a double, common room. Artists on both sides will develop a programme, especially for this technical format, containing smaller and bigger “shows“, outdoor spectacles and meetings of music associations, labour unions, knitting clubs and others. There will be singing, dancing, discussions and game playing with the audience. Locals will discuss their lives, their work, (hi)stories of their city, their dreams (for Europe) and their concerns.
