ONE LAND, MANY LANDS
NEW VIDEOS RELEASED EVERY MONDAY AND THURSDAY
2023 Eleusis welcomes November with the documentary series One Land, Many Lands, dedicated to the local Associations of Elefsina, produced by elc productions. This series of 25 mini-documentaries is the result of research and documentation on the collective experiences of individuals who have shaped the identity of Elefsina through their traditions and personal journeys. Among these are stories of people who once left their homeland and united their lives to create a new place from scratch. Two new videos from the series will be released every Monday and Thursday on the digital communication channels of 2023 Eleusis.

MYSTERY 20 PERFORMING ARTS INITIATOR – NARRATIVE ARCHAEOLOGY
CINE ELEUSIS
On Friday 22 November, a screening of the documentary of Mystery 20 Performing Arts Initiator – Narrative Archaeology, directed by Konstantinos Arvanitakis and Michail Marmarinos, will take place at Cine Eleusis. This documentary delves into the work and methodology developed during this project, which culminates in a site-specific walking performance within the emblematic Archaeological Site of Elefsina.
Why does someone visit an archaeological site? What do we seek there?
In search of the hidden narrative of the given Archaeological Site, Narrative Archaeology is introduced as a methodological project that highlights the ways that Performing Arts can enhance the interactivity of archaeological sites. Supported by the Ephorate of Antiquities of West Attica.
MYSTERY 59 U(R)TOPIAS ACADEMY OF CHOREOGRAPHY
Mystery 59 U(R)TOPIAS Academy of Choreography, under the artistic direction of Patricia Apergi in collaboration with Aerites Dance Company, began its fourth year in Elefsina with great momentum. The first intensive week of workshops the participating choreographers attended seminars by invited mentors from Greece and abroad.
