On July 17th, the group OGMIOS presents the musical and dance performance "KATHARSIS" – a journey through myth, darkness, and light.

Inspired by the relationship between history and myth, the performance continues the play "Ogmios Slays Gargantuan at Golgoi" where narration and music traveled to the Mediterranean, creating fantastic myths around the deity Ogmios.

In this new performance, Ogmios is exorcised, with dance and light design enhancing the narrative and adding a new dimension to the experience. The performance belongs to the framework of musical, dance and operatic spectacle with a strong innovative character. It combines elements of Rock, contemporary classical and electronic music, while incorporating polyrhythmic structures and atmospheric vocals. Andys Skordis and Panagiotis Minas create a sonic atmosphere with drums, guitar, vocals and electronics, while dancers Melissa Konstantinidis Garo and Ioli Kaskani bring the darkness of the performance to the stage, dissolving the boundaries with the audience.
