"In One Breath: Greece Under the Sea"

The Eugenides Foundation invites visitors on a journey into the magical world beneath the waves, revealed through stunning images by underwater photographer and diving instructor Stefanos Kontos. The exhibition “In One Breath: Greece Under the Sea,” consists of 30 photos printed on metal to create a 3D sensation.

"Available Light" at Onassis Cultural Center

The Onassis Cultural Center presents "Available Light", a pivotal work of contemporary dance that was first staged in 1983 and was the vision of three legends of American minimalism: choreographer Lucinda Childs, composer John Adams and architect-set designer Frank Gehry.

The three artists will be in Athens from December 5-7 to recreate the legendary production, which reveals not only the individual artistry of its three creators but also the shared aesthetic that was common to their experimental approaches.
