On Tour in Athens
Nikki Bedi is on stage in Athens with creatives who are shaping the arts and culture of Greece.
Nikki Bedi is on stage in the mythic capital of Greece, with artists who are recovering from the economic crisis of recent years and shaping their creativity through encounters with other cultures.
There is live music performance from super star singers, Rena Morfi and Marina Satti, and stand-up comedy from television personality Roumbos Zissis.
In the Culture Cab, visual artist Cacao Rocks takes Nikki on a tour of Athenian street art in the district of Psirri.
Film producer Amanda Livanou talks about the landscapes of her films, from the derelict Olympic village in 'Park' to the mystical dystopia of her next film, Cora.
Twenty-four-year-old Mario Banushi tells the personal story of his sensationally successful theatre piece, Goodbye Lindita.
And audience members share their views on the changing identity of Athens and relevance of the ancient myths to life in modern Greece.
