Little Amal, a young refugee, embarks on a remarkable journey – an epic voyage that will take her across Turkey, across Europe. To find her mother. To get back to school. To start a new life. Will the world let her? Can she achieve what now seems more impossible than ever?

As part of the Moving Europe program by Eleusis 2023 European Capital of Culture, the Aerites Dance Company inaugurates the first ever Academy of Choreography in Greece, U(R)TOPIAS and announces an Open Call to interested artists who wish to expand their creativity and knowledge in the art of choreography.

Eleusis 2023 European Capital of Culture, along with the co-organiser Athens Open Air Film Festival, invite you to a four-day event – a cinematic journey to historical Elefsina, from the 23rd to the 26th July 2021. 

Eight dancers from Africa, the world’s oldest and most mystical continent, take us on a journey to the ancient roots of Dance and our deepest selves. The internationally renowned choreographer, Josef Nadj, visits Elefsina and presents the performance “OMMA”, demonstrating that “dance was born along with humanity”. 

The emblematic poem “The Free Besieged,” by Dionysios Solomos, comes to life through the voices of the residents of Elefsina, directed by Eleni Efthymiou and with an original score by Sofia Kamagianni, at the premises of the Parking lot.
