GET TO KNOW US!
Founded in 2018, TooFarEast is a company based in Athens, which specializes in production and distribution of contemporary dance, theatre and performance.
Lately, we have been on fire, working on unique ways to empower the contemporary performing arts. We are a team of four, looking for and channelling ideas around the world, by working on international projects, establishing long lasting relationships and touring great art.
WE BELIEVE
That through art we can broaden our minds and expand our horizons. We are happy to support artists in internationalising their projects and practices.
That through art we can advocate equality and the well-being of marginalised social groups. We are proud to have staged “Medea in Drag”, the first drag show ever presented on an archaeological site in Greece.
That through art we can achieve social inclusion, shape our identity and our vision for the future. Together with Eleusis 2023, the local communities and international artists, such as Olivier Grossetete or Julie Desprairies, we are reimagining the city’s routes, history, present and future.
