This year’s theme for the 69th Philippi Festival is Metamorphosis—that special momentum that gives things a different form. By focusing on classical works (e.g., Ovid’s Metamorphoses) and original works, it will create a unique network of activities: performances, site-specific presentations, concerts and musical compositions, workshops, visual installations, and experiences (e.g., performances at sea).

At the same time, as every year, it will host the most important productions of the summer at the Ancient Theater, as well as two concerts that will mark the beginning and end of the Festival’s events. And, of course, its own proposals, new original productions, will be presented at various locations throughout the city (Karnagio, Old Pumping Station, Halil Bey Mosque, former Lord building, etc.). He will once again emphasize extroversion and will seek to have his performances, after premiering in Kavala, travel to other festivals in Greece and abroad, while organizing, in collaboration with foreign institutions, two special residencies that will culminate in performances.
