The Pamvotis Lake Project is centered around the Pamvotis Lake (or Lake Pamvotida), the historic lake of Ioannina, the mother-lake, the nurturing lake, the all-nourishing lake, as its name suggests. (The word "Pamvotis" is Homeric and derives from the nouns "pamvotor" or "pamvotir" meaning "the one that nourishes everything".)

It is a multidimensional, modular project inspired by Christina Tzialla, and it serves as an innovative tool for promoting the culture and tourism of her homeland. It draws inspiration from the history, myths, and legends, as well as from the ecosystem of the lake and its surrounding area. One of the oldest lakes in the world, it is a key identifying element of the region, representing one of its largest brands, primarily known as the "Lake of Kyra Frosyni." 

The Pamvotis Lake Project consists of individual activities that span throughout the entire year. It is based on studied forms and expressions of art, emphasizing site-specific performances in public spaces, as well as literary or academic tourism. The activities focus mainly on theater, visual arts, literature, and tradition. Noteworthy are also the references to local gastronomy and the famous silversmithing of the city of Ioannina, which are integral parts of our intangible cultural heritage. 

What separates today from yesterday is solely the surface of the lake's fresh water. The connecting link to a long past is its waters, which do not renew. The boats, leaving behind an imaginary line, mark a journey filled with centuries-old stories—stories that the unwritten rules of water and oral tradition have turned into "historical myths." In many sections of the Pamvotis Lake Project, original fictional texts by Christina Gianna are presented, resulting from years of exploration and deep study of the spectrum of myths and legends of the region. In this journey, Christina, with new myths—or by evolving old ones—creates a new “reality” that captivates.
