Greece, a global maritime leader, managing approximately 20% of the world’s shipping fleet, once more asserted its important role at the international events that took place in September 2025.

The most important of these events is the global celebration of World Maritime Day, observed on the last Thursday of the month to highlight the importance of shipping safety, maritime security, and the marine environment.

📚📚Theatre and performance lecturer, director and writer Natalie Katsou spoke to Reading Greece about the meeting point between #theatre and #poetry, as well as about experimentation as a strong moving force in her work.

"Experimentation for me is essentially a mixture of curiosity and playfulness, together with the pure enjoyment of writing as practice, as a physical way of being/doing.

[...] Theatre and poetry are constant projects/projectors. They reflect what is here now and they shape possibilities ahead. Looking for a different way to say the same thing, employing a different medium, genre, or language, or jumping from verse to soliloquies is a freedom and a compelling passion to share that freedom, to share ideas – ideas that are profoundly influenced by that adventure and practice. Wasn’t Borges who said that each writer constantly writes the same book?"
