Sasha Waltz

The Goethe Institute in Athens presents screenings of the choreographic opera "Dido & Aeneas," with choreography by Sasha Waltz, recorded at the State Opera Unter den Linden in Berlin in 2005.

After "Korper," from her trilogy about the human body, acclaimed German choreographer Sasha Waltz returns with an exciting new choreography, "Kreatur," which premiered at Radialsystem V in Berlin last summer. Here, she has teamed up with two iconoclastic artists, fashion designer Iris van Herpen and lighting designer Urs Schoenbaum. The shows at the Athens Concert Hall start at 8 p.m.

Ten times over-budget, several years overdue and many lawsuits later, the €789m Elbphilharmonie concert hall, or “Elphie” as it is affectionately known, is finally finished, down to its very €300 toilet brushes and its 1,000 handblown glass lamps, constituting both a landmark and a trademark for the city of Hamburg.
