To kefali | A performance in Corfu/24-26 April / 21:00-Polytechno Corfu

A performance freely inspired by Lina Rokou’s book “Wrong Head.”

When was the last time the earth swallowed you up?
For me, it was a vacuum cleaner.

A performance that traces a journey toward lightness and the multidimensional nature of the self—exploring the experiences that have shaped us, with or without our consent. An exercise in observation that gradually unfolds into a choreography of recognition.
Each of us contains an entire universe, because “the self is nothing but a collection of other selves.”

Symphonic Tribute to Lavrentis Machairitsas 27 June / 21:00 Old Fortness Of Corfu

The Ionian Islands Symphony Orchestra proudly presents a Symphonic Tribute to Lavrentis Machairitsas for the first time. His close collaborators and friends—Dionysis Tsaknis, Giannis Zouganelis, Kitrina Podilata (Yellow Bicycles), Mirela Pachou, and Panos Mouzourakis—will perform at the iconic Old Fortress of Corfu on Saturday, June 27, 2026, for a unique and unforgettable evening. Lavrentis Machairitsas was one of Greece’s most important songwriters, leaving a lasting mark on the country’s music scene. A pioneer of Greek rock with the band Termites and a key figure of the 1990s singer-songwriter generation, his songs,such as Didymoteicho Blues, Poso Se Thelo, Kai Ti Zitao, Ekei Sto Noto, and Mikros Titanic,have become timeless classics. The Contemporary Music Ensemble of the orchestra, under the direction of Ilias Gogidis, will present a new symphonic interpretation of his greatest hits, blending rock, art song, and symphonic sound in a memorable musical tribute
