Opening Ceremony of Giortes Rokkas

On the evening of August 6, the dances of the movement workshops were opened, under the artistic supervision of Phaedra Pisimissi. The traditional dance was adapted to modern times, mixing the norms of movement and creating the steps followed by dozens of dancers from cultural clubs at the Opening Ceremony, in a dance inspired by the spiral imprinted on Giortes Rokkas  Medal. At the same time, creations from the Percussion workshops of Yannis Papadzanis and the Lanterns, edited by Tzortzina Drakouli-Solo, accompanied the show, creating an unforgettable spectacle.
