These are not only days of dance. These are not only days of music. These are the days of adrenaline. This year’s Onassis Stegi contemporary dance festival is back for its 11th version and will see its choreographers, performers, composers, and musicians with their bands smash it up live on stage, with an impressive parallel program featuring leading figures from the international scene.

Giving precedence to sound and igniting the concept of sound design, the ODD 2024 introduces the Belgian visual artist Miet Warlop to the Greek audience with "One Song" (24 & 25 February), an ecstatic dance performance that is at once a live concert and sports marathon—also a triumph in the Festival d'Avignon and currently an international touring staple—and re-introduces the most emerging Greek choreographer who received last year's Aerowaves award, Ioanna Paraskevopoulou, presenting two sound-kinetic works: the awarded "MOS" (24 February – 3 March) and her new and utterly intimate project "All of My Love" (23 February – 3 March), which sings its heart out right from its title, nodding to everyone who once happened to dance to this "song of songs" by Led Zeppelin.

Three more new projects that sprung out from Onassis Stegi's recent open call are having their premiere, with their performers giving it all they've got like true rock stars, having their music collaborators by their side instead of their dancing coaches. The crowd's anarchic movement during a concert, with all the moshing, headbanging, and stage diving, turns into a dance style ("Slamming" by Xenia Koghilaki and George Poulios in music) (23 February – 25 February). A confession of a panic attack assumes the form of public psychotherapy, accompanied by live electroacoustic music ("We all need therapy" by Panos Malactos, with Die Architekt as a co-star) (23 February – 25 February). A female body runs on a treadmill under the unremitting hammering of sound and time ("RUNWAY" by Christiana Kosiari, with Jan Van Angelopoulos in sound design) (23 February – 25 February).

ODD 2024 introduces the Belgian visual artist Miet Warlop, while three additional projects, stemming from Onassis Stegi's recent open call, are premiering with their performers giving their all, akin to true rock stars.

ODD 2024 – PARALLEL PROGRAM

As part of ODD 2024, a masterclass with Damien Jalet is scheduled for the broader artistic community, welcoming choreographers, dancers, performers, dramaturgs, movement researchers, and more. The masterclass will take place on Friday, February 23, from 14:30 at Galaxy Studio (Galaxia 2, behind the building of the Onassis Stegi). In addition, a screening of the short film "CABIN 9" (12', 2022) by choreographer and dancer Giannis Nikolaides will be featured on the Onassis Channel on YouTube. The film, which includes sound design by Manolis Manousakis and is produced by Shampoo films, will be available for viewing from February 26th at 12:00 p.m. The participation form for the masterclass will be available on Monday, February 5th, on onassis.org

ODD 2024 – ACCESSIBLE PERFORMANCE

On Saturday, March 2nd, the performance "MOS" will include surtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing and audio description for people with visual impairment. Before the performance, at 17:15, there will be a Sensory Accessible Tour for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals and those with visual impairments. Reservations for disabled seats: 213 017 8036 & infotickets@onassis.org.
