Opening: 3 December 2025, 18:00
Hours: Wednesday – Saturday, 17:00 – 20:00

Athens is changing. The climate crisis, drought, fires and tree diseases are transforming the city and its natural environment. Palm trees, plane trees, mulberries, pines and cypresses are disappearing, while heat and drought are becoming the new normal. At the same time, overtourism and relentless urban development are putting additional pressure on the already burdened urban fabric.The city is drowning under the volume of visitors, the neighborhoods are changing character, the residents are being displaced, while new apartment buildings and hotel complexes are springing up in every corner of the basin, covering every trace of free land.

The group exhibition "Athens under Pressure"emerged from an open to artists of all media, inviting them to respond creatively to this theme. The invitation served as a stimulus for a collective artistic dialogue around the city and its shifts, environmental, social, spatial, psychological. The exhibition invites the public to ask themselves: How do the climate crisis, overtourism and the building boom affect our lives, everyday life, psychology and our shared experience of Athens? Can art speak to what we live? With works that record, comment, resist or envision, “Athens Under Pressure” brings together multiple perspectives on a city at a critical crossroads, a city that is changing faster than we can comprehend.

• Thursday, December 4: Mando, with her legendary voice and unforgettable hits, and the dynamic Antonia Kaouri, known from The Voice of Greece and the Coldplay opening, bring their pop-electronic energy into the funky Afrogreco universe.

• Thursday, December 11: The rock energy of Georgia Kefala, frontwoman of Ble, and the avant-garde, experimental artist Ody Icons from Cyprus join forces in a night balancing old-school vibes and futuristic sounds.

With a “Move On Up” attitude, Jerome Kaluta and his band promise an unrepeatable musical experience across these two exclusive nights — an event not to be missed!

Communication is a core pillar of The Euphoria Series as the quality of our communication shapes the quality of our relationships at work and beyond. It influences how we collaborate, how we lead, how we express needs and boundaries, and how we create trust in the spaces around us.

In this circle, we'll discuss

• how clearly we express ourselves
• the conversations we avoid and why
• habits that support or block understanding
• awareness of our internal state and how it impacts the way we communicate
• the gap between what we feel and what we communicate
• how communication shapes trust and collaboration in professional life
• how we navigate the space between what we say, what we mean, and what the other person hears
• how old communication patterns show up in new situations unless we consciously shift them
• how communication opens the door to repair when tension or misunderstanding has built up

This session is dedicated in clearing up things so we enter the holidays feeling lighter.

Discussions will be moderated by Penelope Dimitrakopoulou.

The Euphoria Circles are monthly evenings of mentoring, group coaching, and Curated and led by Penolope Dimitrokopouls, Professional and Executive Coach & guidor practice.

Each circle follows a two-part format:

• Mentoring with a guest professional who brings insight and inspiration
• Guided discussion, group coaching, and practical exercises led by Penelope, to translate ideas into personal growth and actionable change

Themes include leadership, stress management, team building, identity, and wellbeing.

Participants may join single sessions or commit to the full journey for deeper impact.

One-on-one coaching is also available at a special reduced rate, recommended for those who wish to explore the themes further.

Athens is once again transforming into a fashion hub, hosting the seventh edition of Eleven The Fashion Project, the women’s fashion trade show that will take place at the Zappeion Megaron from January 30 to February 1, 2026.

Eleven The Fashion Project brings together designers, manufacturers, and retailers, positioning Athens as an international destination for fashion and commerce.

Since 2019, Eleven The Fashion Project has established itself as an important institution for showcasing contemporary Greek creativity, bringing together more than 340 brands and over 5,000 professionals from 22 countries.

With a consistent vision to strengthen the international presence of the Greek fashion industry, Eleven The Fashion Project offers a modern and professional exhibition environment within the Zappeion Megaron — a venue of historical significance in the heart of Athens, where cultural heritage meets contemporary design.

The event is organized by Eleven S.A., a company with 24 years of dedicated presence in the fashion sector.

A documentary by Eva Stefani, produced by Onassis Culture, inspired by the performance Transverse Orientation (2021) by Dimitris Papaioannou.

From January 31, at Danaos Cinema for a limited number of screenings, as part of the CineDoc documentary festival.

Director Eva Stefani follows the preparation and European tour of Dimitris Papaioannou’s Transverse Orientation, observing the acclaimed Greek creator and his collaborators up close as they shape and breathe life into the work. Stefani’s camera captured two years of rehearsal footage at the Onassis Cultural Center during the pandemic and performances in Paris, London, Vilnius, and other international venues, culminating in the final performance in San Francisco.

The Heart of the Bull is an intimate portrait of the multifaceted artist and director Dimitris Papaioannou. The viewer encounters his obsessions, relationships, methods, and constant questioning of the process—despite the fact that process is the only thing he fully trusts. Rehearsals, adaptations, bodies, movement, pressure, images, friendships, and family are laid bare—the preparation of Transverse Orientation reveals his unwavering faith in the creation of art. “The joy of art,” Papaioannou notes, “is that it gives you the sense that there is something beyond the life you live.”

The film premiered at the 27th Thessaloniki Documentary Festival, winning the WIFT GR Award and the Special Jury Prize of the Student Youth Committee of Thessaloniki Universities. It was also presented at Doc Lisboa ’25 and DOC NYC, and won the Best Documentary Award at InShadow – Lisbon Screendance Festival ‘25.

Director’s Note

“I have known Dimitris Papaioannou since I was 17, and I always wanted to make a documentary about/with him. When he invited me to film the making-of of Transverse Orientation, I was thrilled. However, at the same time, COVID was surging across Europe, leading to repeated postponements of the performance. Alongside the uncertainty caused by delays and the shadow of the pandemic, the question arose once again: ‘What is the meaning of art in a time of crisis?’

The documentary began as a simple record of a group of dancers and technicians trying to give meaning to the daily routine of preparing a performance that might never happen. At the same time, it is the portrait of an artist who inspires his collaborators and captivates audiences with works that combine pain, heart, and beauty. The filming was done with a very small crew (2–3 people), following the direct cinema method, so that we could be as unobtrusive as possible. We experimented a lot with imagery, particularly out-of-focus shots, which we felt conveyed the uncanny atmosphere we experienced while watching the work. My intention was for the documentary to capture, at least to some degree, the experience of watching Transverse Orientation: its sensuality, darkness, and enigma. Additionally, I wanted to leave gaps that offer a window into the complex psyche of this brilliant artist.”

SCREENINGS

As part of the CineDoc Documentary Festival, The Heart of the Bull will have its Athens premiere on Saturday, January 31, 2026, at 20:00, at Danaos Cinema, with the filmmakers in attendance. Through CineDoc’s network, the film will also be shown in Volos and Rethymno, with a special screening in Thessaloniki. Screenings will have Greek and English subtitles.
