The Athens & Epidaurus Festival 2023 explored the essence of freedom through its artistic programme. The visual identity translates this into a symbolic language: the swallow embodies flight and independence, water channels the continuity and flow of life, and the heart anchors the rhythm of creation and devotion. Rendered in marble-inspired textures, these motifs bridge timeless cultural values with contemporary expression.

Applied across posters, digital campaigns, and print collateral, the identity balances minimalism with narrative depth. Typography, composition, and material references emphasize movement, elevation, and emotional resonance, giving each application a sense of openness and vitality while maintaining a cohesive and sophisticated aesthetic throughout the festival’s visual presence.
