AEF2023: The Dancing Public
It’s that time of the year again, when Athenians start planning their summer holidays around the programme of the Athens Epidaurus Festival. The leading performing arts festival in Greece, and one of the oldest in Europe, returns between June 1st and August 26th for its 68th edition with a rich programme of events. As always, the main venues are the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the industrial complex of Pireos 260 and the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus. Click here for our festival picks or head over to the official website for the full programme.
Dancing mania, also known as the dancing plague, was an unusual social phenomenon that occurred in Europe between the 14th and 17th centuries. People would dance in a frenzy until they collapsed exhausted. Danish dancer and choreographer Mette Ingvartsen draws inspiration from this weird fact of the past and delivers an infectious dance performance. Her dance spreads to the audience, as she dances both among them and with them. Chances are this will turn out to be a full-blown party.
