SCHOOLWAVE ON THE ROCKS

A unique festival has been taking place in Athens for the past 4 years. High school bands from Greece and Europe come and play their own music on a huge stage in front of thousands of their schoolmates. Schoolwave 2008 took place at the Theatro Vrahon (the theater on the rocks) in Vyronas, a northeastern suburb of Athens. The cameras record the frenzied rhythm of the kids on stage, their nervousness before going on and their joy afterwards. For three days they have the leading roles in a play written by themselves and not by adults.
