Clytemnestra is one of the few full-length ballets by Martha Graham, and was first presented in 1958. It was the first contemporary choreodrama in two acts, plus a prologue and an epilogue. This play has been recognized as a true 21st century masterpiece.
In 2008, 50 years after the ballet\’s first official presentation, Clytemnestra will revive once more, with a world premiere in Athens, to mark the commencement of the Martha Graham Dance Company world tour in all major cities. The event will take place at the Athens Concert Hall on October 23-25.

The shows in Greece are linked to a worthy cause. They support the work of the organization called \”Krikos Zois\” (Circle of Life), which aims to create the first mobile social market to assist indigent families by offering food, clothes, and other basic necessities.

How does a little girl from Skokie, Illinois find herself in historical Athens, leading curious explorers through the winding streets of Plaka, down "pezodromos" to hidden ouzeries for tempting mezedhes and homemade barrel wine? The journey began more than twenty years ago, and regardless of whether the wanderlust comes from the spiritual and culture DNA flowing through my veins, or the alignment of the stars on that cold mid-December day this Sagitterian came into the world, I never seem to tire of exploring my adopted homeland of Greece. Here you'll join me as I explore Athens: be it the back streets of Psirri and Gazi, or through the National Gardens and Zappeio where a family of turtles makes their home, or down wide, treelined Imittou Street in Pagrati, which pulses with Athenian life 24 hours a day. And while Athens has stolen my heart, the rest of Greece vies for my curiousity and wanderlust. My two guys (that'd be the Greek God, Vasilis and our Greek dog, Scruffy) and I can often be found settling in for a long weekend in some charming mountain village, or a quaint fishing port on a nearby island, or learning how Greek vitners are producing wines that rival some of Napa Valley's finests productions, or celebrating a panayeri in Epirus or sharing in the festivities as a family of Cretan sheepherders come together to sheer their 1500 sheep in the spring ... And if you happen to find yourself heading to Athens, consider finding yourself a real home for your stay. Living amongst the locals, be it for 3 nights or 3 weeks, will offer you the chance to experience true Athens, beyond the Acropolis. Choose from one of our 5 beautiful penthouse and historical homes, and who knows, I may be leading you down that winding "pezodromo" to our favorite hidden ouzerie!
