The No, I am not washing your dirty plate Arts Festival will be hosting their fourth event, returning back from the collaboration with the Melbourne Fringe Festival in November 2020.
This time around the festival will look to the bicentenary of the Greek revolution with the event GREECE: THE WOMEN OF THE REVOLUTION with the aim to unite women and non-binary creatives from the southern-European diaspora with their homelands.
The festival asks what the Greek revolution look like if women initiated and organised it. Performances will include poetry, theatre and music by women and non-binary creatives from around the world to commemorate the bicentenary of the Greek revolution and to shout about the feminist revolution taking place in Greece today.
“I was approached by a Greek man in the community who noticed that the bicentenary celebrations in Australia did not seem to include many female voices,” festival creator Koraly Dimitriadis said.
