The Hellenic Mediterranean University (HMU) continues the rich programme of its 2nd Spring Cultural Festival with the performance “Epestrefe” (“Return”), a collaboration between the University’s Theatre Group and Choir. The performance will take place on Monday, April 27, 2026, at 20:00, at the “Markos Karanastasis” Amphitheatre, located in the Indoor Sports Hall of the Heraklion Campus.
The Festival is supported by the Region of Crete and held under the auspices of the Municipality of Heraklion. Admission is free to the public.
The performance draws inspiration from the documentary The Salt of the Earth, dedicated to the work and life philosophy of the internationally acclaimed photographer Sebastião Salgado, on the occasion of one year since his passing.
It is a stage composition that combines body, speech, movement, sound, and image, creating a “human installation” that activates emotions and bridges the past, present, and future.
With the central concept of “return,” the performance seeks to evoke associations and raise questions about contemporary human experience, highlighting the power of memory, return, and identity.
The production represents a creative convergence of the University’s cultural groups, showcasing the importance of artistic expression within the academic environment.
