On Saturday, September 28, we performed at The Yellow Days Festival at the School of Fine Arts in Athens with a cast of 12 displaced from Iran, Afghanistan, Cameroon, 4 Greek dancers and our collaborating team, Maria, Bianca and myself. Our total performers this year was 21!

We were joined by an amazing band of traditional musicians from Iran to complete our program.

Your donations during this period have made it possible to share an additional stipend for all the participants of the project! Thank you wholeheartedly

This summer, as the new government came into power, they flexed their right wing muscles by closing all the self organized refugee housing projects, emptying these spaces of families with children, who were stuffed into caged buses and sent to detention centers before being forced into the horrific camps that specialize in dehumanizing the already traumatized. The police in their militarized glory, guarded the walled off empty buildings but left the heroine dealers, pimps and human traffickers free to continue their market.
