Asteris Kutulas, spans 600 hours of close contact with Mikis in 30 years in cities all over the world, 40 productions, presenting the melodic side of Mikis, utilizing new technologies, and giving another dimension to his work.

The show “Our Town” attempts to establish a distinct ‘radio society’. A town within a town, occupied by intriguing personalities, cultural spaces and organizations, musicians, and theatrical groups who altogether build new social trails through culture, art, music, and poetry. It might initially sound utopic, but at the end of the day, the show simply aims to slightly enrich our lives and our everyday routine by keeping us good company.
