o Steehos Art It is an Urban Non-Profit Organization created by a group of people with a passion for art. Its goal is the research, promotion, synthesis, and dissemination of its artistic concerns and aims through representational arts or in combination with any other kind of art. Its core value is the access and participation of all people in art, regardless of age, gender, ethnic identity, and regardless of any physical or mental ability they may have.
The company collaborates each time with different artistic ensembles and groups that satisfy the artistic values, with the primary focus being on the authentic modern Greek work that the company represents.
CURRENT PERFORMANCE
The Art of Not
The play is inspired by Franz Kafka's short story ‘The Artist of Hunger’, translated by Thodoris Tsomidis and adapted by MASH (Katerina Anastasiou & Christos Kapenis). It is a physical and existential exploration of the story of the hunger artist, who refuses sustenance as the ultimate form of self-expression.
The hero of the work dedicates his life to the art of fasting; he is exhibited in public performances, locked in a cage, while the crowd watches with admiration the gradual exhaustion of his body.
The music and sound of the performance do not simply serve as background but are an integral part of the narrative. In a world that consumes images and idolizes spectacle, the performance proposes a radical return to the nakedness of the theater: the performer, alone and exposed, creates a world of their own, where emptiness—emptiness as artistic imprint, as inner truth, and as a space for interaction with the audience—becomes the cutting edge of the experience.
The «hunger artists» were historical figures with public appearances in Europe and America from the 17th to the early 20th century, when prolonged fasting was presented as a spectacle to be consumed. The performance engages with this reality, incorporating references to real hunger artists into its dramaturgy, illuminating the boundaries between art, the body, exploitation, and the need for recognition.

stillborn
On the occasion of the phrase “l'appel du vide”—the inner pull towards the void—and with the title Stillborn– which means Stillborn- the creator Euthymis Christou returns with his new stage research, presented by March 20, 2026, every Friday, on the Steel toes Space. She meets three important choreographers, one at each stage of her research, and together with other acclaimed collaborators, they compose an ode to the desire and need for life.
Are we able to resist the natural pull toward the void? What is it that holds us there with such familiarity? What makes us feel every attempt at recovery as a stillborn trial? What is it that will ultimately pull us from the depths of ourselves? What, ultimately, is our natural inclination? Inward or outward?;
The physical performance «Stillborn» moves at the intersection of dance, imagery, and scenic poetic action. The performance does not follow a linear narrative. It composes a series of physical images and scenic situations that capture the experience of mental breakdown, internal struggle, loss of meaning, and the existential void into which one often sinks. The body becomes a vehicle for memory, trauma, and resistance.
The performance Stillborn is a dive into the inner self, an attempt to emerge towards the light.
