FOR A SPRING WITHOUT LIMITATIONS

1st Online festival ''Exit: Spring''

19'

Expired

Description

Three marimbas have been placed at the Greek National Opera’s foyer facing the SNFCC agora. The magical sounds of percussion prepare us for the exit to a spring without limitations and serve as a perfect foil for the images of empty Athens that remind us of the lockdown days.

The 1st Online festival titled "Exit: Spring", curated by GNO Artistic Director Giorgos Koumendakis, was presented from 17 May to 30 June 2020 and included eleven new music, opera, operetta and music theatre video-performances created during the pandemic, as well as one recorded dance performance. All festival video-performances revolved around the themes of the anticipation of spring, the rebirth of nature and the coming of the new. The festival was made possible by a grant from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) to enhance the Greek National Opera’s artistic outreach.
