The Onassis Cultural Centre, having at the heart of its objectives the export of modern Greek culture and the support of Greek artists, is entering its eighth year of activities across the borders. With the support of the Onassis Cultural Centre’s “Extroversion” program, Greek artists are given the opportunity to present their work in various festivals and theatres across Europe.

After mesmerizing audiences at the Οnassis Cultural Centre-Athens Main Stage last season, Dante’s Divine Comedy by VASISTAS, directed by Argyro Chioti, was presented in Mullhouse, France (16-17 January, La Filature Scène Nationale-Mulhouse).

RootlessRoot’s Europium, with Linda Kapetanea and Jozef Fruček travelling through Europe’s uncertain future in a raft, was presented in Amsterdam on the same dates (Stadsschouwburg, Amsterdam).

After 14 countries and 25 cities, Clean City continued its impressive European tour with the immigrant cleaning ladies of Athens making a stop in Liechtenstein (17 January, TAK Theater, Onassis Foundation Liechtenstein in collaboration with TAK Theater Liechtenstein), followed by Amsterdam (19-20 January, Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam) and Hamburg (23-24 January, Thalia Theater).
