What I can't see
A multi-active group took the initiative to create their own space in a former repair shop and in the then degraded area of Keramikos, aiming at the promotion of art as a cultural way out against the “dead-end” imposed by the economic crisis. Among the goals of the group are the development and promotion of independent artistic creation, research and education, the team spirit and interconnection of artistic fields and artists. The group’s activities include all areas of theatre, circus, yoga and DIY constructions. More specifically, Fabrica puts on theatrical performances and street theatre shows, co-organizes and participates in European programs, workshops and seminars in Greece and abroad, contributes to the inmates’ education in penal institutions and has introduced the original theatrical methodology “Theatre of Research”. Moreover, the group pioneered “Bubble Performing” art, organizes entertainment events and the annual multi-themed “Handmade and Recycled Theater Festival”.
