Dances performed will include some dedicated to Mikis Theodorakis, who wrote many symphonies, ballets and operas, including ‘Zorba the Greek’, made famous in the 1964 film of the same name.

Greek mythology is the timeless foundation beneath much of the West’s art and literature, so it’s only fitting that it underpins the country’s contribution to Expo as well. The Greece Pavilion offers a delightfully modern spin on the myth of Ariadne – whose string helped Theseus escape the Minotaur’s labyrinth – inviting you to trace her blue “thread” through a maze of exhibits showcasing Greek culture and industry.

Your personal Greek odyssey at Expo will include stops to explore the country’s food, traditions, tourism industry and more, culminating in your arrival at a quintessentially Greek open-air patio, cooled by a wind tower.

From the streets of Bogotá and beyond, the entire world dances to the beats of Colombian music stars like Shakira and J Balvin. At the lively Colombia Pavilion, you’ll see — and most importantly, hear — how this infectious rhythm connects the nation to a thriving future of culture, innovation and urban growth.

The pavilion’s airy, free-ranging design represents Colombia itself, open and unbounded. In and around its four light-filled floors, an abundance of rhythmic attractions awaits: interactive instruments that let you play along with the music, a giant digital jukebox, holographic light shows and more.

The Colombia pavilion’s airy, playful design looks more like a three-dimensional checkerboard than a traditional building. The structure trades typical walls for a rectangular grid of colossal white metal beams and transparent panels and floors, which meet at varying levels to create a four-story tower of platforms, open air plazas, and spacious rooms that peek out in unexpected directions.

The Spain Pavilion at Expo 2020 is an open, eco-friendly exhibition that seamlessly blends ancient heritage and cutting-edge innovation.

An airy ground floor features several small, naturally cooled plazas that are ideal for relaxing or snacking on tapas. Venture underground into aroomy basement, and you’ll explore a “forest of the future” filled with thought-provoking exhibits on Spain’s contributions to global sustainability.

Inspired by Spain’s age-old links to the Arab world, the Spain Pavilion takes the shape of a lively field of sheer, conical towers in hues of brick, orange, and saffron yellow. Visitors venture under this vast canopy of peaks, built from reusable materials including wood, iron and fabric, to explore a series of breezy plazas. The underside of each airy dome is decorated with unique textures that reflect their exhibits: swirls of woven straw, a green canopy of plants, falls of digital water, and more. One dome also shelters a tasty tapas restaurant.

A broad canopy of diamond-patterned white metal is shaped to look like a net cast from a boat into the water. The canopy forms a wavy shell that shades open air exhibits below. Each diamond is filled with yellow, orange or red panels, creating a gradient of warm hues. Once underneath the net, a wide path lined with media panels details the history and future of Iraq, ending at a large shaded stage area framed by palm trees.
