Past Activity
The performance 277 metres invites audiences to a participatory, walking performance on the highest point in Athens: Mount Lycabettus. The time is sunrise, when the shadow of the Lycabettus gradually recedes, and the city is bathed in sunlight.The agave trees and the view from the chapel overlooking television antennae, rooftops, and concrete buildings, will be conceived as dream forms, momentarily upsetting any stereotypical conceptualizations of the city.
Η περφόρμανς 227 μέτρα αποτελεί μια συμμετοχική περιήγηση στο υψηλότερο σημείο της Αθήνας. Περφόρμερς και θεατές επιτελούν μια ανάβαση στο λόφο του Λυκαβηττού. Χρόνος της δράσης, η ανατολή του ηλίου- την ώρα που η σκιά του λόφου υποχωρεί σταδιακά, αφήνοντας την πόλη στο φως.
Το δάσος με τους Αθανάτους, η θέα από το εκκλησάκι, το τοπίο από κεραίες, ταράτσες και τσιμέντο, εξετάζονται ως μορφές που μας ωθούν να ονειρευτούμε εκ νέου την πόλη, αναστέλλοντας έστω και προσωρινά στερεοτυπικές της αναγνώσεις.

It preceded the EDN Atelier Akamas: Nature Embodied, that was celebrated from 20 to 23 April. The Atelier had the form of a sharing and discussion of the previous workshop findings with EDN and local communities invited guests. This happened primarily at the site of exploration and experimentation.
