How important is history to the young people? Do we remember our history?
Does the past, the present and the future related? In what way? When our personal history becomes History? Can we become observers and authors of the History now being written?
These questions and many others are attempted to be answered by the site specific, devised, theatrical performance for teenagers and adults, ”Camp 22”, which focuses on the various aspects of History. Because we wave the stories ourselves, whether we actively participate in them or remain spectators. To keep them in our memory we photograph every moment that we want to remind us of where we were, who we were with, and how we were. After the performance, there will be an action-discussion during which the therapeutic function of Image will be used as a key tool for memory retrieval and the expression of emotions.

2021-2022, 2019-2020,: "Comes and Goes", theatre with live music for spectators from 1,5 years old.
A couple, a painter and a musician, live together and share moments of love, agony and relaxation. What happens when one of them leaves the house?
Separation from everything that is beloved, either in childhood or in adult life is always difficult. Infants need to learn that each time the person taking care of them leaves their sight, it doesn’ t vanish from their life.
The show talks in a simple way about the difficulty of separating from the intimate, the fear of loneliness and the creative aspect of independency.

The story of a maiden who goes to war takes us back to the years when fighting was a men’s realm.

But how will she manage to survive in such a world and how will she prove her worth? The fairy tale is based on the real story of Antonoussa Kastanaki from the village of Kera in Chania, who fought during the Greek Revolution and it was created after a commission from Roka Festival, Kera a Scene of Crete on August 2021.

2008: "A Brave New World", for children 3-6 years old
At the beginning it was … the conception and the story that follows is unbelievable! Within nine months the little creature transforms from an invisible set of cells into a baby!
Everything begins inside mom’s belly. In there, this little creature sleeps, wakes up, moves, swallows, hiccups, coughs, exercises, eats, blinks and perceives sounds and even light behind the abdominal wall. Full of vitality it grows and swims carefree until the day of its great “exit”; into the
world: Baby’ s life will never be the same again. What she knew without even asking herself “how”, she will have to learn it all over again: to breathe, to swallow, to support her head, to move. And a little later to realise, communicate and shape her independent personality. And the story
continues…
2007: "My own umbrella", for children 1,5 to 3 years old
In this performance, the young viewers are invited on a journey into the world of the first sensations, memories and everything sweet that we carry throughout our lives. The heroes are two, a girl who dreams or plays, and her umbrell that can be real or imaginary. The world they create together is round, funny, frozen, mysterious, crazy, bright, colourful, musical…
The journey begins when the girl closes her eyes. The two heroes will return to the sea that will take them to the land of ice, and when the ice melts they will find themselves in the forest where they will be separated. When the girl opens her eyes again she is alone, or almost alone. The friend she had made on the trip is gone, but everything she left behind, real and imagined, is there.
