From Pericles’ Funeral Oration to the theatres of Vembo and Kotopouli, this episode of “Wander Words” returns to Metaxourgeio — the neighborhood that lived through history, worked with passion, and sang with soul.
Together with Vicky Papadimitriou, a guide with a deep love for people’s stories, we once again walk the streets where craftsmen and poets, workers and artists, romantics and revolutionaries met.
From the coachbuilders’ workshops and historic theatres to Finos Film and Vassilo’s “Hawaii”, the second part of the tribute to Metaxourgeio shines a light on the vibrant heart of Athens — a place that has never stopped creating.
Produced and presented by Katerina Batzaki
