The group attempting  to transfer the “observer” Strindberg to the field of observation, uses in this work extracts from both personal letters of the author and other letters and texts. The fragments of these letters function as an acoustic environment creating a parallel space of obsessions and ghosts from the world of the author himself and not only. This particular “space” functions as a canvas and scenery of the central drama among the three main heroes of the work.

“We will live in loneliness in green meadows away from people”
(an extract from A. Strindberg’s letter to his wife)

The ASIPKA Group was founded in 2007 by the director Dimitris Bitos and the actress Irini Drakou. Since 2007, ASIPKA has more than 16 performances in its assets, both in theatres and in non-conventional spaces (abandoned buildings, public spaces, monuments) as well as four film productions (three short films and one feature film (Fan 2013).
Among other things, the group has been invited to participate at the Athens and Epidaurus Festival in 2012 (Antigoni by Sophocles ), at the National Theatre with the Project Lodes (2011), and also at IETM Athens with the Walk in the Desert Country at the Kallimarmaro Stadium (2013).

Vassilina – Taste the Music series

VASSILINA

Taste the Music series

Thursday 23rd May 2019, 21.00

at St Paul’s Anglican Church, 27 Filellinon street, Syntagma, Athens

Based in London, VASSIŁINA composes pieces that balance aesthetic elements of pop with obscure electronic elements from Fever Ray, FKA Twigs, Sevdaliza and Portishead. Intense reverb, delay and field-recodings create a romantically melancholic soundtrack, as self-destruction and chaos lead the body to ecstasy.
In March 2018, Undo Records released her first EP, “In-Sōma”.

Organized by: United We Fly

ENTRANCE BY TICKETS 10 euros

Giorgos Christodoulou presents “Attic in Paris and other stories”

Giorgos Christodoulou presents “Attic in Paris and other stories”

Wednesday 22nd May 2019, 21.00

 at St Paul’s Anglican Church, 27 Filellinon street, Syntagma, Athens

On the occasion of the CD release “Attic in Paris” by Mikri Arktos, this performance was set up with the unknown “lost” songs of Attic based on the time he lived in Paris and his many successes in Greece. 
For who was written “Let’s come for a while,” in what “strange” way the songs were known before the radio, was there a light “revolutionary” song before Theodorakis?


These and so many other questions are found in Giorgos Christodoulou’s humorous and emotional performance that premiered at the Athens Festival 2016 and travelled all around  Greece and abroad with acclaimed critics.

Organized by : Action ESTI

ENTRANCE BY TICKETS 12 and 10 euros

The Renaissance Choral Evensong services at St Paul’s are organised by the Schola Cantorum Sancti Pauli, the Athens Centre for Early Music (of the Ατhens Conservatory), and St Paul’s Anglican Church.

The choir Cappella Sancti Pauli, under the direction of Iason Marmaras, sing a series of Choral Evensong services that aim to revive the musical and liturgical practice at Cathedrals and Chapels during the Renaissance, but also the music as experienced by musicians in those times, seeing the music as a functional part of the liturgy, rather than as a building block for concerts.
