Every year, Christmas Stories come to life at the Lighthouse of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre (SNFCC)! For another year, liminal will create the Audio Description and Touch Tour in the stage area of this year’s Christmas performance entitled “Santa’s Postal Workers” on the 28th and 29th of December. On the same days there will be live interpretation in Greek Sign Language.

 

Santa’s Postal Workers at the Lighthouse

The Burger Project, the beloved band of young and old, collaborate with Endynamei Ensemble, the iconic collective of artists with and without disabilities, to form a mixed troupe and set up an original musical performance, specially created for the Christmas Stories at the SNFCC Lighthouse. Thanos Kosmidis, the legendary Professor Cosmic of the Burger Project, is in charge of the artistic direction, and Eleni Efthymiou, director, actor and constant collaborator of Endynamei Ensemble, is directing this festive show filled with humor, songs and sensitivity, addressed to children and the entire family.

The Christmas village is amidst the yearly hustle and bustle as everyone is preparing for the holidays! Santa’s postal workers have read all the letters, making sure everything is in place in order to convey the children’s wishes to the toy factory, when they suddenly discover four letters that are quite unusual! Their mission now is to find the Christmas Spirits that will be able to fulfill these special wishes!

With lots of live music, interactive games and many adventures, the end will come with a twist!
