The Climbing Over Elefsina programme, run under the artistic direction of Eleftherios Kechagioglou, directed by Gaëtan Levêque, and choreographed by Christina Sougioultzi, brings together three Greek contemporary dance and circus artists from the “Ki Omos Kineitai” (And Yet It Moves) company with five circus artists and three musicians from France’s Le Plus Petit Cirque du Monde (The Littlest Circus in the World) – that renowned school of the “dangerous arts” also known for its international arts exchanges – to create a work inspired by the inhabitants and urban landscapes of Elefsina and Bagneux, France.
This collective work is being realised in Elefsina’s communal spaces, with rehearsals open to be viewed by the public. In sum, this major work of artistic research and creation gathers together artists from the fields of contemporary dance, contemporary circus, and eastern and western Mediterranean music, all from Greece and France, for the creation of arts actions about public and private space, urban planning, and the multicultural social fabric of suburban cities. The initial research phases of this action were undertaken in October 2021 and June 2022.
Further Info
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.
