Plisskën Festival is proud to announce the sixth edition of The Lab: The Professionals
As the winter edition of Athens’ Plisskën Festival returns once again with another heavy-hitting line-up in December, The Lab, an annual series of workshops organized by Plisskën, take place prior to the festival.
