Join us for an open discussion with a new generation of contemporary Greek poets and performers

In the decade of the Greek economic crisis a dynamic group of Greek poets has responded to recession by staking out new artistic and theoretical ground.  Taking poetry on stage, boldly experimenting with the interface between poetry and performance, they present innovative multimedia and participatory events that expand the possibilities of poesis.
