Contemporary dance and live music encounter "WE" by Caféturc Music & Arts

Contemporary dance and live music encounter "WE" by Caféturc Music & Arts at 10th Akropoditi DanceFest 2023 with the support of Anna Lindh Foundation

12 Jul 2023, 21:00, Evanthia Kairi Theatre, Syros Island, Greece

The non-profit organisation Akropoditi based in Syros island, member of the ALF National Civil Society Networks hosts the Contemporary dance performance with live music “WE”. Thanks to the mobility grant by Anna Lindh Foundation, Bedirhan Dehmen will present his masterpiece "WE" in the International Dance and Performing Arts Festival - Akropoditi DanceFest 2023 that celebrates its 10th year.

“WE” draws inspiration from Anatolian esoterism on one hand, and from contemporary philosophy on the other hand, questioning the concepts of “unity in multitude”, “empathy”, “universal ethics”.
In “we”, three male dancers in the performance space alternately move through a series of trio movement forms in close and constant physical contact, dual action dialogues, and moments of individual outbursts of energy. They dig deep into their memories and bodies striving to explore what binds us together. They tirelessly search for unity in multiplicity while re-enacting and re-staging their experiences of communion and conflict, tenderness and violence, strength and vulnerability, and trauma and healing along the way.
* Open discussion and Q&A with the contributors and the audience will follow.

6th Amorgos Film Academy

The Cultural Association of Women of Amorgos, the Municipality of Amorgos, and the South Aegean Region, co-organise the 14th Amorgos International Film Festival, from 12 το 17 of November 2023, where short films and documentaries from all over the world participate and compete.

The 6th Amorgos Film Academy will also take place parallel to Amorgos Film Festival, with participating students from many countries, and very important tutors who will be doing workshops, master classes and speeches regarding the cinema.

The participants are guided to all important parts of the island, such as the traditional capital Chora, to its historic 1200-year-old Byzantine monastery of Chozoviotissa, to the ancient settlements of Amorgos, and to the Hellenistic Tower in Arkesini. They try local products, & local specialties, get introduced to the famous herbs of Amorgos, and enjoy local dances and music!

While coming into contact with the locals, and the places they visit, they often get inspired to make a film or create an artwork in general. This is a holistic approach of the acquaintance of the culture of a place, but also of the people, through art in all forms.

At the same time, the 20th Conference on Culture and Tourism, YPERIA 2023, will be held, with topics on Wοmen, The Environment, Gastronomy, and the Preservation & Protection of our Natural Cultural Heritage.

Through this event, Amorgos has been established as a meeting point of networking by gathering great participation of artists, journalists, politicians, filmmakers, directors & producers.

The Amorgos International Film Festival has been organised by the Cultural Association of Amorgos Women which has a great history of 30 consecutive years and has been held at the Aegialis Hotel & Spa.

The Amorgos Film Festival is very important for the island, for the Cyclades, but also for the whole country, since it has managed to be a reference point among the International Festivals.

Producers, directors and students are invited to submit their films for competition. Selection of winners will be made by an International Jury team, of very important people in the cinema world.
