Peiragma Theater Group was founded in 2008. Among its key aims is the experimentation of the group with different theater techniques and practices; an artistic result  that ensues  from the creative interaction and exchange between the group's members which expresses their common artistic goals; a dialectic relationship with the art and “science” of theater.  Peiragma considers making theater a political act. Peiragma Theatre Group is one of the founding members of the theatrical DIK.AN.O. (Network of Independent Theater Companies of Greece).

THE GARDENER OF THE SKY based on a fairy tale by Dimitra Psihogiou

A gardener that tends to the gardens of the sky.
A mermaid that is a bush.
A rather “skeptical” monkey.
A quite “sophisticated” squirrel.
A heron who... knows! 
Trees that sense, that feel, that listen... Animals that talk, that think... And suddenly the bush mermaid sheds a tear!!!... Somewhere at the earth's deepest depths, in the dark oceans, a giant that steals happiness... A difficult, faraway journey for the gardener of the sky who decides to take it. So that he may confront the giant and make his stand. So that he may win happiness back!! His only allies: Memory, Music and Love... He met the three women along the way. They didn't tell him much... but it was enough!...
