Piraeus - Athens

Fouad Boussouf's works sit at the meeting point of hip-hop, contemporary, and traditional practices. A teacher as much as a choreographer, he gives transmission a fundamental place. Each piece is conceived together with its accompanying set of practical workshops open to all audiences. These allow the works to be experienced differently, extending the spectator's experience and enriching it. °Up is no exception and can be adapted in many forms.

Invited by the Art Explora Foundation, the MAGMA collective unveils magmaXplora, an immersive performance where DJ sets and VJing intertwine in a journey through the marine imagination. As the sounds and moving visuals unfold, the audience drifts into the ocean’s depths—among the abyss and bioluminescence, underwater eruptions and pillow lavas—until the boundaries between the living, the mineral, and the imaginary dissolve.

A dance workshop exploring plastic and its impact on living beings, for all publics Inspired by images of marine animals trapped in plastic waste, this workshop was born from underwater observations in the Mediterranean and Red Sea, where plastic proliferates even in protected areas. In duet with a light plastic sheet, participants are invited to reflect on our habits and the way we inhabit our environment.

Spontaneous Symphony for Barrels is a participatory sound happening where oil barrels and self-made instruments are offered to the audience as percussive objects, played with drumsticks. The performance unfolds as a spontaneous act—an impulsive eruption of sound without premeditation or external prompt. Rhythm and tempo emerge organically through the collective dynamics of the audience, transforming participation into process.

Antonis Vais, in collaboration with 12 performers of the ASFA Laboratory 12 (Professor Poka Yio), reclaim the pier of Gate E8 at the port of Piraeus. In this land’s edge, whose only border is the sea, they wish to reposition corporeality at the core of site-specific research. Seeking ways, situations, and conditions in which the individual, as part of a larger whole and as a unit, relates to the arrival, departure from, and stay in intermediate places of temporary habitation – such as the port – they activate a perpetual movement: that of the multitude, whose function aims to overemphasize the importance of transience.
