Next Stop: Kypseli - A Theatrical Journey Through History Returns This September
This September, the beloved theatrical tour "Next Stop: Kypseli" returns to the Municipal Market of Kypseli for its fourth season, offering a limited number of immersive experiences. Once again, we're invited to stroll through the rich history of this vibrant neighborhood!

"Next Stop: Kypseli" invites us on a delightful walking journey that starts at the Municipal Market of Kypseli. This autumn, the tour returns with a limited series of walks, inviting us to discover the beauty, history, and hidden secrets of one of the most enchanting neighborhoods in the heart of Athens.

Originally crafted and first presented by the Industrial Gas Museum and the theater group "Anemomiloi" in May 2023, this unique walking tour features surprise stops along the streets of Kypseli. It brings the neighborhood's history to life in the most creative way, using various theatrical techniques and interactive experiences with the audience.

During the six new Sunday walks in September, our two "theatrical guides," Magda Gouberou and Christos Christopoulos, will take us on a time-traveling journey through the events and stories that have shaped Kypseli. What significant events are linked to this area? Who lived here or passed through? Who was Fokion Negri? And did the infamous "rascal" of Fokionos Negri actually exist? Personal testimonies, cultural and historical records, films, songs, and urban legends will answer these questions and many more, weaving together the material for our journey.

Kypseli is a vibrant, multicultural neighborhood that seamlessly blends classic Athens with modern trends. Its history stretches from the early 20th century to the present day. It's a place that nostalgically looks back at its past while eagerly embracing the future, searching for its contemporary identity. Starting from the Municipal Market of Kypseli, we’ll walk once again through the history of the city's most lively neighborhood!
