Projects

Heterotopia is an Athens-based creative research studio. We are working to raise the profile of theatre, performance and hybrid creative arts practice across the Greek heritage sector by promoting their value as research, interpretation, and engagement tools for museums, archives, historic environments, and sites of memory.

Museum theatre is our principal research methodology and is woven into our work as a fundamental means of exploring the human stories within archives and collections. In addition to being an established form of live interpretation, museum theatre is also a valuable tool in practice-based archives and heritage research due to its ability to create space for the exploration of behaviours, ideas, and moral values of the past in a way that invites analysis and critical reflection.

Each of our projects brings together a unique creative team around a practice-based research methodology. Together, we explore archives and collections of all kinds, seeking out new ways to understand the past and the present, by visualising and ‘giving voice’ to the human, intangible, or hidden aspects of our collective heritage.
