On July 4, 2012 the scientists of CERN confirmed the discovery of a new particle with a mass of 126,5 GeV with a 5 sigma deviation, meaning a finding of 99,99995% certainty that is verifiable and reproducible at all times. The particle is thought to be a boson – indeed, the heaviest boson ever found. In 2014 the contemporary circus company “Ki Omos Kineitai” [And Yet it Moves] produced The God Particle, winning the theatre and dance critics’ award that same year.
Based on a concept by Christina Sougioultzi and Dimitris Apostolakis of the Hainides music group, the show is at the same time a lecture of escalating entropy by Apostolakis, who has worked with CERN on this field of research concerning the Higgs boson, with a grant from the University of Crete. Based on this show, “Ki Omos Kineitai” organise a social circus workshop in Elefsina, inviting children and adults to acquaint themselves with the magic of contemporary circus through a series of acrobatics and contemporary dance workshops. With this process, which engages the people of Elefsina, the group develops a new, participatory version of The Higgs Particle show to be staged in Elefsina in the autumn of 2023.

2023 Eleusis European Capital of Culture is setting up a three-day celebration to say goodbye to the Belgian collective TimeCircus that returns to Antwerp after six months and to hand over – now officially – ARKOPOLIS, the ark of eternal youth, this unique cultural space to young people and to the residents of Elefsina.
2023 Εleusis European Capital of Culture presents from the 4th until the 7th of October, for the first time together, the artistic projects of the trilogy Mystery 13 I_LEFT, conceived and directed by Yolanda Markopoulou, completing a multi-year long artistic research, focused on refugee, uprooting and starting over at a new place.
Mystery 42 Futuring Waters’ exhibition and parallel events introduces us to the artworks created through a process of co-authorship initiated by the artist and educator Jenny Marketou with the help of Greek and international scientists, artists, curators, architects, archaeologists and activists among others around water rights and hydropolitics, a complex political thought around water.
