Golden City \u2013\u00a0Mystirio\u00a0Kanali\u00a0<\/b>a corporate quayside culture club in Eleusis and Bremen where European people meet via Internet-live-stream with music, (hi)story, research and performances\u00a0June, 10th to July, 16th 2017\u00a0<\/b>\u201cGolden City\u201c \u2013 Bremen (Germany) and \u201cMystirio\u00a0Kanali\u201d \u2013 Eleusis (Greece).<\/p>\n

From June 10th to July 16th,\u00a0an electronic communication bridge between Eleusis and Bremen will be set up; two cities which share similar characteristics (sea, harbours, inactive industrial buildings, etc.).\u00a0This is the \u201cGolden City \u2013\u00a0Mystirio\u00a0Kanali\u201d, 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.<\/p>\n

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 \u201cshows\u201c, 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.<\/p>\n

The programme of events is as follows:<\/p>\n

Stories about the Eleusinian Mysteries, the Sacred Way, the cement and steel factories, the refineries, the shipyards and the workforce that came here as a result of the Asia Minor Catastrophe are blended with stories about the harbour bars of the \u201950s and\u2019 60s in the legendary port of Bremen and how the war-torn city was rebuilt with money given from (American) seafarers and the Bremen port workers and the ordinary people experienced their \u201ceconomic miracle\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
Presentation\/discussion on the substantial and viable transformation of the two cities.<\/div>\n
As Europe is subjected to extensive structural change, the labour and the cities are changing, while industrial buildings and facilities stay empty and get ruined. How can cities format these developments? How can new uses and new identities be developed for stand-alone buildings or whole building blocks? Tonight, we intend to make clear the transformation achieved so far; the crossroads of changes in Bremen and Eleusis. ZwischenZeitZentrale Bremen will describe the transformation of \u201ccreation points\u201d such as the \u201cWurst-Case\u201d or the Wollk\u00e4mmerei and will talk about the European exchange in strategies concerning new\u2026 re-use. The Greek side will be represented by Peggy Tsolakaki; urban and spatial planner and a member of Eleusis 2021 team, responsible for infrastructure issues,\u00a0Pari\u00a0Kapella on behalf of ASPROFOS Engineering; a civil engineer who will present to us the final study of the reconstruction of the IRIS colour industry and Nicholas Karachalis, Adjunct Lecturer at the Department of Planning and Regional Development of the University of Thessaly\/HOU, representing the URBACT Refill programme.<\/b><\/div>\n
