Faneromeni25 Arts Festival continues its programme of cultural events on July 17, 2025, with the musical and dance piece “KATHARSIS”, performed by the group OGMIOS

Inspired by the relationship between history and myth, the performance continues the play “Ogmios
Slays Gargantuan at Golgoi” where narration and music travelled to the Mediterranean, creating fantastic myths around the deity Ogmios.

In this new piece, Ogmios is exorcised, with dance and light design enhancing the narrative and adding a new dimension to the experience. The performance blends music, dance and operatic spectacle with a strong innovative character. Audience members can expect elements of rock, contemporary classical and electronic music combine with polyrhythmic structures and atmospheric vocals.

Andys Skordis and Panagiotis Minas create a sonic atmosphere with drums, guitar, vocals and electronics, while dancers Melissa Konstantinidis Garo and Ioli Kaskani bring the darkness of the performance to the stage, dissolving boundaries with the audience.
