The 3rd Walls Festival in Heraklion, organized by the Municipality of Heraklion, commenced on August 31. The event featured a drone show at Prochamou Iesou Square, a film screening of ‘Franz Kafka-Franz 2025’, and a concert by Dimitra Galani and Eleni Tsaligopoulou. To integrate the city’s historical heritage with its artistic identity, large-scale digital prints from the Heraklion Municipal Art Gallery were installed at the entrances of the Vitouri Gate and the Manos Hatzidakis Garden Theater.

The festival concluded on September 10 with a performance by composer Nicola Piovani at the Nikos Kazantzakis Garden Theatre. Piovani presented ‘The Travels of Odysseus’, a work incorporating spoken word excerpts from authors such as Homer, Cavafy, and James Joyce.
