The Solstice day is been a very important day for  our culture since ancient times and it was exactly 8 years ago when we began this project and gave it the name of Children of the Sun to conmemorate this special day. The children were performing for the primary school and the high school students in 2 consecutive days.Here some pictures of the day of rehearsal and the shows.
