In the area of ​​Imeros beach of the Municipality of Maronia-Sapes,Greece, at “Mikros Diaκosmos 300 meters from the sea, there will be a ten-day cultural theme camp and parallel cultural events open to the public.                          

Each day will be dedicated to a different era and to the "Tastes"of it. Fore example,thefirst day focuses on the Homer's “Odyssey”and Archaic times.                                                                                   

The whole day will be free time for the   participants, to enjoy the beaches and   the surrounding areas and only on late afternoon they will be able to attend     and participate to various events:         An art group,movie and documentary     viewing,theatrical and musical             performances, etc.                                       

This art camp is suitable forc hildren and adults,unrelated to their profession and specialty and will be bilingual (Greek and English).                      

This open structure is intended because it the cam more complex and unexpected..

The beginning, for example, the first day, will be as follows:

 * In the afternoon there will be a concise artistic presentation of the Odyssey's logic, by Yannis Voultsidis, combined with live music.

* At 8-9.30pm, a team of participants will be created work on a scene of Aristophanes' “Birds”.Everyone here can choose his "role" in the theater,either as an actor or a dancer, musician, scenery and costume maker,or just an observer!

This rehearsal will take place every day and on the tenth day the group's work will be presented at an open event.

* At 10 o'clock every evening the "symposium" begins, in the "seafront terrace" of the Mikros Diakosmos, and every day, depending on the subject of the presentation, it is combined with flavors, beverages, perfumes,music of the mentioned era.

So in the "Homeric" symposium of the first day there will be Maronite wine which Odysseus used to make Cyclops drunk, beef baked in the archaic way, etc.                                                                                                   Participants will be given a certificate of participation

Participants can set up their tents in the estate of Mikros Diakosmos,leave their car in the private parking lot,and they will have access to toilets and showers with hot and cold water.                      

The ten-day camp-and participate the events-costs one hundred and twenty (120) € per person.                             

For children accompanied by adults it is free of charge.                                

For those who want to attend seminars without, the cost is fifty (50) euros for the ten days.

During these ten days,several theatrical performances and variousevents will be presented. All those who will camp will watch for free.

There is a coffee shop for breakfast, coffees and light lunch and,of course, the thematic symposium (dinner) every night.

Those who want to participate in the first 10-daycamp from June 30 to July 9 are required to book by June 20 to be given priority.               

 In no way this thematic camp is for a specialized audience of philologists, actors, etc It appeals to people regardles of race or age who want to havejoyful and meaningful holidays.

 MikrosDiakosmos

 (founded in 2007) is an organization for arts based in Thrace, Greece,  in the area of Imeros beach, on the border of the Municipality of Maronia - Sapes.

 Mikros  Diakosmos, in  an environment of 1,5 acres,  has its own multi-purpose art building with an Indoor and an outdoor theater, a library, workshops etc.

 The Soul of the place is Yannis  Voultsidis, director, musician and shadow theatre performer and stage designer Georgia Giannopoulou.

 Associates: Stella Zeleskaki, support and Communication in English and Giorgis Economopoulos, gourmet curator and beekeeper.

 

 How to get there:

By road via Egnatia highway, coming from Thessaloniki, you will go to the west entrance to Komotini, pass by Komotini, Xylagani, Imeros and find us a little further down (see map).

Coming from Alexandroupolis, you go to the exit to Maronia.  Outside Maronia, take the coastal road and find us after the seaside settlement of Prophitis Ilias.

Nearest Port and Airport, those of Alexandroupolis, but you can also use the airport of Chrysoupolis Kavala or Thessaloniki.

Komotini communicates regularly with Athens and all the cities of Macedonia and Thrace by buss, and in the summertime there are busses from Komotini to the coastal area where we are located.

Buss Station Tel: 2531022912

The nearest train station is in Komotini. Tel: 2531022650

 

The Thracian Shadow Theater operates  in Mikros Diakosmos and it is known for its quality in Greece and abroad. It is the only theater in Greece that has published more than 15 books on theatrical art.

At the same time, every  summer, the Arts Festival takes place, where artistic performances are presented, and local products are also being promoted through a variety of partnerships with local associations  and producers, in a smart way.

Another activity of Mikros Diakosmos is that in collaboration with the Democritus University of Thrace and Primary and Secondary Education it organizes «Drama Games» in the ancient theater of Maronia.

Additionally, Mikros Diakosmos has produced four documentaries on culture and two music productions, one of them with Roma children.

We have organized  many  seminars on theater, speech and cinema, workshops for shadow theater, music, ceramics etc.

Our belief is that if Greece does not have a strong Region, its center will always remain weak.

For this reason, decentralization is primarily a political and moral position.
