Following seven years of workshops and rehearsals, the group Young Dancers 65+ fill the stage with energy, lust for life, and movement. Dance has no age for the Onassis Stegi, and this performance is merely a proof.

Suspended due to safety measures

Seven years ago, they entered the Onassis Stegi, filled it with energy, and became the first “young” dancers aged 65+. These feisty, persistent individuals have proven what we already know: that the body can dance forever, as long as “there’s not a single gray hair in [one's] soul.”

Today, these people get back on stage once more and voice their personal narratives about the neighborhoods of Athens that grow old with them. Both life and the stage are all theirs.

Welcome to the neighborhoods of Athens and meet their residents, who dance for the days that went past and for those that are coming up.
