Synaxis - Tzeni Argyriou
The term Synaxis has ancient roots: it conveys the concept of gathering, congregating and congregating people in a predetermined space. The synaxis project sets as its main goal to preserve and redefine the ritualistic spirit of collective meetings, which aim at group physical and phonetic expression.
Master and Margarita – Ki Omos Kineitai
Based on the novel by Mikhail Bulgakov, the popular troupe of Greek acrobats and dancers Ki Omos Kineitai presents surreal fiction where the Devil himself, punishing and tired, appears with his retinue to "cure" the lack of faith, to rebalance the logical with the absurd, the possible with the impossible.

To Be Possessed - Chara Kotsali
