Amsterdam, Barcelona, Paris, Vienna, Bassano Del Grappa, Bogotá, Kalamata, Chania. Stegi’s productions and artists travel presenting modern Greek culture all over the world.
Greek creators travel in Greece and abroad, while the international community enthusiastically embraces their artistic proposals. And this summer, as has been the case for the last 13 years with Stegi’s productions, the international audience and Greek artists tune in to the same rhythm. Since 2013, more than 100 Stegi theater, dance and music productions and co-productions have given over 1,000 performances in 56 countries and over 200 cities around the world. The advocacy and support of artists are at the core of the existence of the Onassis Foundation Shelter. The mission of Stegi, through the program “Extroversion”, is to strengthen the presence and prestige of artists in every corner of the Earth and, at the same time, to build innovative networks, which are closely intertwined with the fabric of the international scene, with the artists and for artists.
Just a few days ago, artists collaborating with Stegi traveled to attend the Avignon festival and talk with festival directors, curators and the wider international artistic community, with the support of Stegi’s Outreach program. At the same time, Greek productions of Stegi travel all over the world, from Grec Festival in Barcelona to Julidans in Amsterdam and from ImPulsTanz in Vienna to Centro Nacional de las Artes Delia Zapata Olivella in Bogotá.
After its successful presentation at Teatros del Canal in Madrid and One Dance Festival in Plovdiv, Lapis Lazuli continues its international tour with next stops in the Netherlands and Spain. On July 4th and 5th the Julidans Festival in Amsterdam welcomed the grotesque and at the same time comical and terrifying universe of Euripides Laskaridis, which we met on the Main Stage of Stegi last April. On July 13th and 14th, Lapis Lazuli will travel to Barcelona, to the Grec Festival, an international festival of theatre, dance and music, for two nights of terror and laughter. In Lapis Lazuli, Euripides Laskaridis seeks to explore a series of dipoles, such as the material with the spiritual, the dreamlike with the nightmarish and the conscious with the unconscious, thus constructing a dense network of contrasts on stage.
House of Chaos by Patricia Apergi and the dance group Aerites was first applauded in May 2023 on the Main Stage of the Roof, and has just rocked the French capital at the city’s biggest summer festival, Paris l’été, on July 6 and 7 . On July 17th he will return to Greece for a single performance at the Kalamata International Dance Festival. The House of Turmoil wishes to converse with the concept of identity through the violence that anyone can suffer or even practice in order to define themselves, the world and their freedom. It is a hymn to man, to his choices, to diversity and to self-determination.
Having already presented two of her choreographic works at Stegi, as part of the Onassis Dance Days 2023 and 2024, the choreographer Xenia Konchylaki is on a trajectory of extroversion with her latest work entitled Slamming. In organic continuation with Bang Bang Bodies, which was focused on headbanging, Slamming is inspired by the choreographic behaviors of the concert crowd, having herself and two other performers on stage. On July 22nd and 24th he will perform at the ImPulsTanz Vienna International Dance Festival, in Vienna, once again turning the stage into a punk rock concert and the anarchic movement of the crowd into dance. The choreographer will also hold a multi-day learning & research residency within the framework of the same festival.
Four new stations are coming to be added to the artistic map of Exostropheia by Ioanna Paraskevopoulou. Having already conquered some of the biggest theaters in Europe, the distinguished choreographer traveled with her latest choreographic composition All of my Love to the Julidans Festival in Amsterdam on July 7th and 8th. Her next stop, Chania, and specifically the dance festival Chania Dance Days, which will host the well-traveled and award-winning work of MOS on July 23. With the MOS in her luggage, she will land at the Centro Nacional de las Artes Delia Zapata Olivella in Bogotá, Colombia, from July 26-28. Her fourth and certainly not last stop is Bassano del Grappa, to give all her love – or otherwise present All of my Love – at the OperaEstate Festival Veneto, on August 22.
After participating in the Primavera dei Teatri Festival in Castrovillari, Calabria, Hara Kotsali’s to be possessed continues its international tour with the next stop at the OperaEstate Festival Veneto, in Bassano del Grappa, on August 25. Through a deconstructed stage ritual, the dancer and choreographer Hara Kotsali will indulge in a new attempt to detect the phenomenon of spirit possession for which women were primarily accused, in a performance reminiscent of a rehearsal of demonic possession. Five days later, on August 30, Elena Antoniou will also be at the same festival, to present her work LANDSCAPE to the Italian public.
The tours of Stegi’s producers take place with the support of the “Extrovert” program.
