The paper reflects on the dialogues that are established in the cultural landscape of the Acropolis between the frieze of the Parthenon carved by Phidias in the century. V a.C. and the expanded cinema artwork More Sweetly Play the Dance by William Kentridge, shown in 2017 in Athens. We show how the performance of the visitor’s walk around the Parthenon and on the sidewalk around the Acropolis where Kentridge’s work was exhibited makes its interactivity promote temporal and spatial intersections, between Antiquity, the medieval period, and contemporaneity.
