Cretan Art Productions, a company specializing in the organization of artistic events, has created a folkloric group consisting of 25 renowned artists (musicians-singers-dancers), with the aim of promoting Greek traditional culture in an absolutely authentic way.
Performances have already started in various parts of the island with great success (Elounda-Rethymno-Hersonissos).
Tonight, at the Astoria Odeon Theatre, the first performance will be given for the audience of Heraklion and the foreign visitors of our city.
The two-hour performance starts at 21:00 and those who wish to attend it can purchase tickets at the entrance of the theatre and from selected presale points.
The show will be repeated every Wednesday and throughout the summer at the same time and place.
It is worth noting that for the first time an authentic performance of Greek dances and Greek music is attempted, which in our time is subject to unprecedented distortion and abuse.
The musical sounds of the show, of absolute quality, give the real power of Greek traditional and folk music.
The Traditional Workshop of George Kougioumoutzis has curated the dance parts of the performance with authenticity, after a long research on Greek culture that he and his collaborators have been conducting for many years.
