How Many People Fit on My Balcony

Drawing inspiration from Sakis Serefas’ multi-awarded book A Dinosaur On My Balcony, the music and visual performance How Many People Fit on My Balcony invites children and teenagers on a dreamlike wandering adventure through Thessaloniki across space and time: As little Giannis, who has climbed onto the head of a rare friend, the dinosaur Saurus, wanders through the city, he discovers “how old, continuous, and diverse Thessaloniki’s history is and how the things one experiences as the present will become a valuable testimony for future generations”.

Live onstage music, presented as both an original composition and a creative reimagining of Thessaloniki’s diverse musical tradition, interacts with visual art (video) and storytelling, offering the audience the chance to gain an experiential insight into Thessaloniki as a vibrant blend of cultures and also realize the importance of preserving and respecting cultural polyphony in our daily lives.

*The performance will be preceded by a music and visual workshop for children aged 6 to 12.
