Μεταμόρφωση / Metamorfosea
This cultural project - Μεταμόρφωση / Metamorfosea - focuses on environmental issues. The project is led by a Dutch director, Sjoerd Wagenaar, founder of Peer Group and now an independent theatre director and creative thinker.
The idea is to build a beach on the pier and the coast of Eleusis around the so-called graveyard of dumped ships. It can be temporary. Who knows - maybe it will eventually become permanent. But let's take this small step, together with the local community, and reclaim a strip of coastline. Let's show a better future. Let's inspire the authorities to finally clear the graveyard.
The 'graveyard' is located between the refinery and the city's cement factory. Together they stole this stretch of the city's coastline. Two of the basic ingredients of cement are sand and seashells. Just what it takes to make a beach.
Very often the activist voice is one of clamour and complaint. Of fury and frustration. And too often it leads to nothing more than demonstrations which do nothing to further the cause. Indeed often activist demonstrations isolate communities, alienate local government, and move little or nothing forward.
