Piraeus - Athens

G.R.O.O.V.E. is a promenade performance infused with the artistic approach of Bintou Dembélé. Screenings of short films about marginalized, subversive cultures, along with performances, take over the inviting space. Guided by the voice of Célia Kameni, the audience is invited to immerse themselves in the guitar and lap steel of Charles Amblard, and to follow. Together, they transform the space, inviting you to join them and celebrate.

Meech De France presents a vibrant DJ set, rooted in house music, hip-hop, Afro-diasporic rhythms and soulful electronic sounds. Blending rare grooves, powerful percussion and dancefloor classics, he crafts a collective journey where music, movement and memory converge. An intense set, designed for listening, dancing and sharing.

As part of the Art Explora Festival, CinéMo welcomes César Award-winning filmmaker Abderrahmane Sissako to Le Havre for a unique cinematic experience: a free virtual reality screening followed by an exclusive discussion with the director of one of the two immersive films presented, as part of the TRAVERSE network.

Urok Shirhan (NL/Iraq), aka UROK, is an Athens-based artist, researcher and DJ working at the intersection of performance, visual arts and critical theory. UROK’s DJ sets unfold a polyglot club sound—where Arab, Latinx and Brazilian rhythms meet leftfield techno and deconstructed bass, blending sweet pop melodies with dark percussive drums. Throughout the Festival, during hours without live programming, the venue’s speakers will transmit the Radio Alhara broadcast. 

The installation investigates how rhythm and sonic texture can be diverted, slowed down, or distorted through frequencies and vibrations. Eight metallic column-speakers, arranged in a circle, create a field of intensity where the dancer’s body responds to the force of sound upon a minimal marble platform. The work forms part of Panos Charalambous’s ongoing research into the expressions of popular culture in the Balkans and the Mediterranean, re-examining their forms in the present and within the specific context of Piraeus.
