Aris Biniaris

"Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom," one of the most controversial films of the 20th century, directed by Italian filmmaking legend Pier Paolo Pasolini, is reimagined by prominent and innovative Athenian director Aris Biniaris in a production by the Greek National Opera Alternative Stage (364 Syngrou).

Fans of the Onassis Foundation's Stegi cultural center needn't feel cut off and can access leading theater and dance productions on its YouTube channel. Apart from landmark productions like Aris Biniaris' "The Bacchae," Akram Khan's "Xenos" and Blitz's "Late Night," the vibrant channel also includes talks and presentations.

Director Aris Biniaris approaches Euripides' study on the two sides of man's nature, "The Bacchae," from a punk-rock perspective, bringing out its visceral qualities with fitting music. On Saturday and Sunday, the shows at the Onassis Cultural Center will feature English surtitles. Tickets cost 5-24 euros.
