When was the last time you had a conversation with young people and listened to their views on the environment, the city, and the world we live in?
This year’s performance is a brand-new theatrical creation based on stories written by ten teenagers. It marks the culmination of the 7th year of artistic exchange and co-creation under the City Zen Ship program, a collaboration between the French collective Je Pars à Zart (Montpellier) and the Greek arts company Among the Ants , with the support of Erasmus+.
The 2025 theme, “Ecology and the City,” explores how past - and present - political decisions continue to shape young people’s quality of life. How does the state of the environment, its absence, political choices, and daily life influence teenagers’ relationship with their neighborhood, public space, personal and collective responsibility, and their dreams for the future?
Under the artistic direction and creative staging of Constantinos Dalamagas, the group presents a performance that mirrors our times and adult choices, boldly and creatively raising questions with humor and disarming honesty. It is a nearly political performance, based on issues, thoughts and dreams that concern the youth themselves.
