Athens, Greece
TV Control Center, also known as KET, is an intimate creative space dedicated to performing arts, experimental music, creative documentary and grassroots activism. It is located in Kypseli, a diverse urban neighbourhood of Athens, and was founded in May 2012 as a non-profit association by Fotini Banou and Dimitris Alexakis at a place that used to operate as an old TV repair shop. Angeliki Karampela joined the team in November 2015.
The dimensions of the space — a high ceiling semi-basement which can host from 50 to 100 people — and the fact that it is not organized as a traditional theater or concert hall make it a space for creative exchanges and sharing rather than simple cultural consumption.
As a multidisciplinary space, it welcomes from October to June a wide range of events: theatrical & dance performances, experimental concerts, workshops, public debates with health workers or LGBTQI activists.
