Location: Greece
M-POWER is a restless festival which makes clear that the notions of disability and being static are not at all related. Disabled artists are the protagonists in three performances, a film, an international conference, and four workshops organized by the Onassis Stegi with the support of Europe Beyond Access (co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union).
Across four days, the M-POWER festival will present:
2 new Greek commissions:
“Solar” by the Greek ensemble ‘En Dynamei’ https://www.onassis.org/whats-on/m-power-festival/solar
“Ephemeral Body” by Valasia Simeon, dancer, and choreographer https://www.onassis.org/whats-on/m-power-festival/ephemeral-body
an international production:
