In doing so, I seek to devise a methodology that examines the city’s changing theatrical landscapes against the backdrop of <i>Metapolitefsi</i>’s trajectories of transition and the post-2010 in-crisis permutations. Subsequently, I pursue a twofold argument: first, I observe the ways in which state subsidies forged theatrical economies that contributed to the shaping of Athens’ geographies; and by focusing on the example of the Onassis Cultural Centre, I propose that a key marker of change is a move towards an ethic of hospitality, concurrent with the systematization of the economies of debt in Greek society.

In his homage to the Polish director, Marmarinos asked the question that Grotowski (and Wyspiański before him) had raised: what is the contemporary Acropolis? Marmarinos’s Acropolis observes the ruins of contemporary Athens; frustrations, tensions and other dramaturgies of the crisis that was beginning to transform the urban fabric of the Greek capital. In this article, I map the in-crisis restructuring of Athens in dialogue with Acropolis: Reconstruction. Employing Deleuze’s idea of a ‘minor or minimising treatment’ of the classics, I examine the becoming-ruins of monuments in a city in crisis, by searching for the contemporary acropolises not in the ruins upon the hill (the remains of classical Athens and the symbol of its democracy) but in the ruins in its shadow.

Drawing on ideas of the ‘urban commons’ (David Harvey), ‘agonistic citizenship’ (Chantal Mouffe) and the ‘civic transnational’ (Michael McKinnie), we interrogate how our examples articulate transnational urban communities and the ways in which representations of the ‘polis’ are in dialogue with dominant rhetorics on participation and belonging. We specifically ask whether the dramaturgies of participation and citizenship which emerge in both examples transgress commodified and consensual notions of participation and create symbolic spaces where the ‘possibility of disorder’ might propose a ‘conflictual consensus’ and an agonistic practice of citizenship. We propose that while Occupy LSX encourages an agonistic mode of participation in the urban fabric, 100% London participates in forging ‘civic transnational’ subjects as a desirable practice of citizenship that assuages conflicts between the citizen and the state.
