ANAMNESIS

Remembering Our Ancient Future

The interdisciplinary project Anamnesis was started in 2018 by Greek director/choreographer Apostolia Papadamaki.

Merging contemporary performance and Ancient Mysticism to create site-specific, participatory, and immersive productions, Anamnesis aims to activate remembrance of the quests of the soul,  awakening a profound sense of connection to our shared heritage and one another.

The original performances of Anamnesis received unanimous approval from the Central Archaeological Council of Greece and in cooperation with the Ephorate of Antiquities of every site.

Anamnesis performances have been specially designed for the Archaeological Site of Delphi,  the Sanctuary of Cabeiri in Lemnos,  the archaeological site of Delos,  Cape Sounion / Temple of Poseidon, the Temple of Epicurious Apollo,  Ancient Zone, and at the Minoan Palace of Zakros, produced by Quasi Stellar NGO.

Anamnesis has also created site specific performances for the Archeological Museum of Thessaloniki and the Museo Castromediano Lecce in Italy.
