ANGELOS SIKELIANOS: Metamorphosis of a narrator

90 years of the Delphic Festivals (1927-2017)

 

On the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the first Delphic Festivals (May 1927), ANIMART in collaboration with Mrs. Anna-Marina Katsigianni, Assistant Professor in the Department of Philology, University of Patras, is organizing a two-day meeting in Delphi, on 17 and 18 July 2017.

 

Undergraduate and postgraduate students (University of Patras) will present their research on the uninvestigated aspects of the work of Angelos Sikelianos, the visionary of the Delphic Idea, who fertilized with his major lyricism the work of later authors and poets of the 1930s (Elytis, Emperikos, Karagatsis, etc).

 

In the framework of the two-day meeting, Katerina Hatzi will showcase her artworks based on well-known Greek poets and authors.
