Marking the beginning of the celebrations for its 40th<\/sup> anniversary and embarking on the journey of its “Transformation”, the Museum of Cycladic Art organized a prestigious fundraising event, with all proceeds contributing exclusively to the creation of the new Museum of Cycladic Art.<\/p>\n

The Museum of Cycladic Art breaks new ground by proposing a collaboration of historic significance with Dimitris Papaioannou for the creation of an iconic production \u2014 a landmark work in the career of the world-acclaimed artist. Dimitris Papaioannou responded to the commission by recomposing his favorite pieces and integrating fresh ideas into an original dramaturgy. Thirty dancers and actors bring to life his hybrid creatures, animating the space in the singular style that has made him one of the most influential theater makers of our time.<\/p>\n

Over the past forty years, the Museum of Cycladic Art has made a significant contribution to the cultural life of the country, influencing generations of visitors. With this performance, it deepens its engagement with the cultural scene of Athens, starting a new chapter in its history: a “Transformation” that will renew its physical presence \u2014 creating a cultural milestone and an architectural landmark \u2014 and will redefine how a museum of the future should operate within the public sphere. In honor of its 40th anniversary, the Museum will change inside out, reimagining how it serves the public.<\/p>\n

Thousands of spectators attended the fundraising event, and with their invaluable support \u2014 and as part of their ongoing educational mission, the Museum of Cycladic Art and Dimitris Papaioannou offered 2.000 free tickets to students of public schools of theatre, dance, cinema, and fine arts, as well as to dance students with disabilities, giving them the opportunity to experience this evening up close.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
