Yoga Class
Yoga classes are a personal encounter with the breath, body and mind.
The space and what it includes.
Meeting with the inside, the outside and the space between them.
With pause and silence.
A link to I Am That.
A step towards True Nature.
The lessons are based on classic Yoga practices, such as those of Yengar Yoga, Nada Yoga and Hatha Yoga. In this context we will move progressively from physical actions (asana) and breathing exercises (pranayama) to meditation (dhyana) and we will touch on pieces of the philosophy of Yoga (Yoga Sutras) and the anatomy of the body for a more effective and comprehensible practice. Each lesson will be independent. There will be a connection and continuity between the courses.
The aim of these courses is to be a small retreat or otherwise a short break in everyday life. To create space and time for each person for personal training and relaxation of the body and the mind, so that the practitioner returns to the whole rejuvenated. In addition, in a more general context, the courses aim to:
Connect the trainee with the present moment. Redefine our axis, center and boundaries. Encourage a journey of self-knowledge. To discover – create one’s own personal daily practice (sadhana), to achieve their goals.
Those interested in attending the classes are kindly requested to wear comfortable, sporty clothes with a fitted line. Those who have their own yoga mat can take it with them.
The course is addressed to all those who need and appetite for an active break in their day.

The basic subject of the narrative is the journey of the main heroine and the most important moments of her life and environment, intertwined with the basic stations of Greek history of the 20th century. The transitions of life… From her childhood in a mountain village and the experience of war in the big city, the seven years and the change of government.
From loneliness and introversion to young people, to large groups and the creation of her own family. From the normality that now dominates her life to the disease that will change her forever, it will transform her into something completely different and unexpected… The human body, as the main theme of the show, stands lonely and vulnerable, sick, transfused but does not succumb.
A visual representation that is divided into two parts, the Sculpture and the Transfiguration, complicates the dominant physical action with the limited speech and the musical reconstruction of traditional sounds by digital means, to capture our sexual need for a second chance, a revelation of the island Easter’s.
Director’s Note
The media, which compose each image on Easter Island, function as a transparency between the stage action and the spectators, like a window, blurred by the tusks of the people you pass by and look at unconsciously. So this “frost” elsewhere to harden the forms and elsewhere to smooth them and indiscretion to lead the viewer to clean the glass in places with his “palm”.

– Theater of the Oppressed Express it! EU + Immigration + Refugees was a 10-day youth exchange under the Erasmus + Program, which took place in Spain with 30 participants from 6 countries and organized by AJ INTER.
The multifunctional art group Fabrica Athens contributed to its fulfillment by undertaking the theatrical approach to the refugee, immigration and human issue in general. Through the theatrical practice of the “Research Theater” group and applied theater techniques, the participants came closer to themselves, to each other, but also to the theme of the program.
Theater of the Oppressed
At the end of the exchange, the participants, under the guidance of the group’s trainers, created a performance based on the theater of the oppressed, where the audience was given the opportunity to propose solutions and participate in the performance itself.
