The Multiactive Art Group Fabrica Athens organizes this year the 9th Handmade & Recycled Theater Festival. The most handmade and recyclable festival in the neighborhood of Kerameikos, returns for the ninth consecutive year!
The idea
Why handmade and recyclable?
“What we did with effort, we gave it a title. Central to the philosophy of the festival are the ideas of handmade and recyclable. The name and character of the Festival arose from the very identity of the group and continues its course over time. In the special circumstances we are going through, with the field of culture being affected and artists being called upon to find new ways to continue creating, the idea of the Festival is inspired by a different way of operating.
Our goal is to highlight the artists who take the art in their hands and the presentation of diy creations. For the first time this year the festival also hosts international participations; artists and groups that share a common vision with Fabrica Athens,honor us with their presence!
The program of the 9th HRTFest includes:
Theater, physical theater, street theater, children’s theater, improvisation, dance theater, theatrical analogy, performance, video performance, video dance, music performance, site specific performance, standup comedy, narration, contemporary dance, concerts, live music, short and medium length movies, video art screenings, documentaries, painting, collage, photography, installations, book presentation, circus artists, acrobatics, aerial Skills, jewelry, mask, doll, clothing, DIY Constructions, children’s creative work, seminars, lectures.
What’s new?
– Green Object – Competition of 15-minute performances
Competition for theatrical groups! The color green, the green objects, the meaning of “green” are our source of inspiration. Each group has fifteen minutes to present a show or performance that is inspired or contains the color green, the green objects or the meaning of green.
– Competition of New Theatrical Works
HRTFest hosts writers, with new plays that have not been presented to the public. The presentation at the Festival will be in the form of a theatrical analogy.
Like last year, this year the premises and the way of operation will be shaped – determined in accordance with the rules and protection measures proposed by the competent bodies.
