Stage

Young Greek artists find a welcoming outlet for self-expression on the Onassis Stegi stage. The “Stage” platform invites young and new artists to take part in a festival which aims to put the nation’s young theatrical talent in the limelight. The Festival is also an important showcase for contemporary Greek theater, as well as a significant source of support.

The Onassis Stegi remains committed to promoting Greece’s young artists and to helping the Greek cultural scene become more outward-looking. Supporting Greek artists remains one of our central goals, and we are proud to put our trust in artists as they take their first steps in the profession by opening their work up to the broadest possible audience.

The evaluation of the proposals and the artistic coordination of the three-day festival was in the hands of Stefanie Carp (Director of Performing Arts at Vienna’s Festwochen), in cooperation with Iliana Dimadi (theater specialist - theater critic), Grigoris Ioannidis (theater critic and assistant professor of Drama Studies, University of Athens), Savas Patsalidis (theater critic and professor of theater history & theory in the School of English of Aristotle University, Thessaloniki) and Katia Arfara (theater specialist, head of the Theater and Dance department of the Onassis Stegi).
