Kera One Stage – Giortes  Rokkas

Giortes Rokkas [www.giortesrokkas.gr] is a meeting of society and culture in the hinterland of Chania, Crete [in the villages of Rokka and Kera], and it renews each year its appointment in August. It is a celebration of the arts organized by the residents themselves and attracts more than 8,000 visitors from Greece and abroad to an Augustan “journey” of events, that whoever lives, accompanies him forever.

In the summer of 2018, with “Kera One Stage” the whole village of Kera was for the first time transformed into a stage for theater and courtyards, balconies, streets, fields and houses were transformed into small stages. The main goal of the action is to change the conventional viewing frame of a show and to create a total experience for the visitor-viewer. The tribute of Vangelis Papaevangeliou “Kera One Stage – Footprint” can give you the feeling that this first event left to us all.
