Driples & Triplets

The Onassis Stegi heads out to... sports stadiums! Specifically, to the basketball courts and covered sports halls of schools and municipalities in Athens and the Greek provinces. The performance by the choreographer Medie Megas initiates schoolchildren into art's big questions in an original and ground-breaking way: by bringing them face to face with the exciting world of sport. "Driples & Triplets" appropriates the format of popular survival reality shows and talent contests to subvert both to devastating and hilarious effect.

Forget about winners and losers, about sports fanatics and the commercialization of physical skill, the stereotypes of beauty and bodily health. They do things differently in the arts. Art's not about points; it's about other things. Or, as the graffiti artist wrote: "poetry's an extreme sport".
