On Friday 22 November at 20:00, a screening of the documentary of Mystery 20 Performing Arts Initiator – Narrative Archaeology, directed by Konstantinos Arvanitakis and Michail Marmarinos, will take place at Cine Eleusis. This documentary delves into the work and methodology developed during this project, which culminates in a site-specific walking performance within the emblematic Archaeological Site of Elefsina.

Why does someone visit an archaeological site? What do we seek there?

In search of the hidden narrative of the given Archaeological Site, Narrative Archaeology is introduced as a methodological project that highlights the ways that Performing Arts can enhance the interactivity of archaeological sites.

The documentary has emerged as a record of the evolutionary phases of the project, seen through the lens of different filmmakers, creating a narrative synthesis of individual elements into a cohesive whole that seeks to capture, as much as possible, the vivid experience of exploration. At the same time, through its black-and-white imagery, it manages to hint at the narrative potential of the bare landscape and invites the viewer to become a visitor to the archaeological experience.

Free admission with seat reservation here.

Supported by the Ephorate of Antiquities of West Attica.
