Toneelhuis - Guy Cassiers | «Mephisto Forever»
With a performance centered on the satanic allure of power, the pioneering Guy Cassiers – director of the largest theater in Flanders – is introduced to the Greek audience. Based on Klaus Mann's novel *Mephisto* (1936), which focuses on an actor's collaboration with the Nazis, the production *Mephisto Forever* (the first part of the "Power Trilogy") addresses, in contemporary terms, the issues of art and politics, passion and opportunism. The serious and sarcastic tone of the text, the powerful performances, and the direction – a blend of theatrical poetry and technology – result in an explosive cocktail.

Christoph Marthaler - Anna Viebrock | «Riehenbuchbach - A Permanent Colony»
A musical-theatrical reflection on the final days of consumption. What will follow? The corrupt and claustrophobic lifestyle of corporate and family hierarchies tries to protect its assets and privileges. It continuously installs more and more security systems, bugs, and surveillance cameras.

Konstantinos Rigos | "Dressed Naked"
Dressed-naked, "cover" and "reveal." The body as a tool of beauty or as a machine of decay is the field where Konstantinos Rigos’ new performance unfolds. The protagonists are two men without identity, dressed in modern everyday clothing. As the action progresses, they will shed their clothes, intentionally or unintentionally, to remain as two naked bodies within a defined space from which they cannot escape. The space, empty of objects, emphasizes the isolation surrounding the figures and makes their forced coexistence painfully tangible.

The Laborer on the Roof
This winter, Lakis Lazopoulos climbs onto the roof. Following exactly the path of the nerves of the average Greek. A house sinks, the river overflows, no one will be left. The river sweeps everything away! On the roof, Lakis Lazopoulos, as a modern-day Odysseus, sinks just as our lives sink today. The past begins to knock insistently at the door and demands to take its place. The story of the Modern Greek from 1960 until today, the dissolution of the “we,” the rise of the “I,” the descent of emotions, the passage into corruption, the ridicule of the Greek in history.

The children’s beloved Karmen Rouggeri adapts and directs one of the most important texts of all time, with respect both for Homer’s words and for her young little friends.
