The Travels of the Onassis Stegi Touring Program | May – June 2026

Christos Papadopoulos continues the successful journey of “My Fierce Ignorant Step,” a performance about the euphoria of being alive. The work, which we first encountered on the Main Stage of the Onassis Stegi, will be presented in Ireland, at the Dublin Dance Festival from May 7–9, at Théâtre de la Ville in Paris, France, from May 24–26 and then from May 28–31, at KunstFestSpiele in Hanover, Germany, on June 4, and finally at the Tanec Praha Festival in Prague, Czech Republic, on June 23.

The award-winning choreographer, recipient of the international Rose International Dance Prize, presents an optimistic, extroverted, and enchanting work about the first times we met, laughed, lived.

Having secured a major nomination for the Bloom Prize at the international dance awards “The Rose International Dance Prize” for 2027, organized by the iconic Sadler’s Wells – one of the world’s leading venues for contemporary dance – Chara Kotsali continues the successful trajectory of “IT’S THE END OF THE AMUSEMENT PHASE.”

The performance will be presented at Aerowaves’ leading platform Spring Forward Festival 2026 in Guimarães, Portugal, on May 8; at the contemporary dance platform Moving Balkans in Novi Sad, Serbia, on May 16; at Španski Borci Cultural Centre in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on May 19, at the Dance Week Festival in Zagreb, Croatia, on May 21, at the Paris Globe Festival at Théâtre Paris-Villette in France from May 27–28, and at One Dance Week in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, on June 6.

“ODE,” a work by Cypriot choreographer Elena Antoniou, will be presented on June 13 at Rialto Theatre in Limassol, as part of the Cyprus Contemporary Dance Festival 2026. Following “LANDSCAPE,” which has continued to tour festivals across Europe with the support of the Onassis Stegi Touring Program for a third consecutive year, Elena Antoniou’s new work follows that path that shifts the gaze, space, time, and the relationship with the spectator.

At the same time, Efthymios Moschopoulos travels with his recent work “FÁE” to the Agora of the Cité Internationale de la Danse in Montpellier, France, from June 30 to July 1. A choreographic work that unfolds as a queer survival manual for a world that keeps feeding on itself.

Both "ODE" and "FÁE" premiered at the Onassis Stegi as part of Onassis Dance Days 2026.

Award-winning stage director Mario Banushi continues his international journey, presenting “MAMI” at Bulgaria’s most historic theatre venue, the Ivan Vazov National Theatre in Sofia, on June 1 and 2.

Just a few days before the Silver Lion ceremony of the 2026 Venice Theatre Biennale, Banushi once again unfolds his personal mythology, urging us to recognize and confront our own memories, relationships, and the emotional legacy we carry.
