In February 2023, Elfsina welcomed the Timecircus, and with them the largest pilgrimage procession of the 3,500-year history of this city. The members of the Belgian collective started from Antwerp on May 27, 2022, and walked 3,000 kilometers in nine months, crossing the whole of Europe, dragging a land ship, the Landship, which is propelled only by human power.
Their long journey was an exercise in being “on the road” and a living commentary on the 21st century of recession, climate change and the immeasurable consumption of natural resources. At the same time, it was an action of encouragement, strength, hope and participation of all European citizens, and a valuable contribution to the Opening Ceremony of 2023 Eleusis.
Arriving in Elefsina, Timecircus began the construction of The Ark: an Ark of eternal youth and culture, which will be a space for the young people of the city, and where everyone will have access without exclusion.
The Ark space will be inaugurated on June 18 with an all-day celebration.
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.
