Details:
The Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki presents the site-specific performance "As a Shadow As a Dream" in collaboration with director and choreographer Apostolia Papadamaki, creator of the Anamnesis method.
In this performance, Queen Thessalonike, a "shadow" from the past, returns to the present through an immersive walking performance. The show brings to life the hidden stories behind the museum’s treasures, connecting history with the contemporary world.
The site-specific performance designed around the figure of Queen Thessalonike, the first of its kind to be presented in a Greek museum, aims to highlight her historical and mythological significance. It portrays her as a symbol of timeless female struggles and tragic figures who faced power, violence, and exclusion. Queen Thessalonike connects ancient Macedonia with contemporary social challenges, addressing issues related to patriarchy, women's role in society, and their fight for equality and justice.
