1. PEOPLE OF THE EARTH
A tender musical performance with songs and music by Kostas Gakis about the tribes of the world who still live in the virgin forests. A stage ritual that celebrates man’s harmonious relationship with animals, plants and the elements of nature. Beyond the destruction of our voracious “civilization,” races of the world still insist on living and breathing with Mother Earth, joining their heartbeats with her. Kostas Gakis, Natasa Faye Kosmidou and Yiannis Tsotsos form a similar small, “wild” and untamed tribe and submit an electrifying unplugged musical performance where acting, singing and movement are united by a single goal: to recall man’s childhood, then with barefoot feet, then with free bodies, when we lived as carefree children of the mother of us all, the Earth.

2. Frog String Trio
The Frog String Trio, a trio of arched strings (violin, viola & double bass). Their repertoire moves within the boundaries of the musical tradition of Greece and the Balkans, combining in their own original compositions the classical sound of a modern string trio with various special techniques of interpretation and orchestration of alternative strings and various elements of Jazz and modern improvisation. The three members of the band are: Yiannis Zarias (violin), Michalis Katachanas (viola), Grigoris Theodoridis (double bass). The ultimate goal of these three musicians, both in their interpretation and teaching, is to highlight, beyond the various particular techniques of interpretation and orchestration of alternative strings, the various ways through which the performers of the various arched stringed instruments, despite the diversity they may often have in their musical background, They can develop channels of musical communication and interactivity with each other.
