Christening, school, wedding clothes, the military uniform, the suit, sleep wear, the thread, the fabric, sewing, clothes on the body, all these are intertwined and compose a highly musical performance.<\/p>\n<p>The performance is based on archaeological finds connected with textiles and clothing, and specifically those that came to light at the archeological site of &#8220;Koimisis&#8221;, excavated since 2014 by the Ionian University, the University of Crete and the Ephorate of Antiquities of Cyclades at the islet of Therasia, across Santorini. This is a Bronze Age settlement that partly collapsed during the great Minoan volcanic eruption.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the creation process, the artists visited Therasia, and conducted interviews with the archaeologists and members of the local community, worked at the excavation, documented the local ways of clothing, and then used this rich material to create a performance \u2013 that also records life on this unique and captivating small insular world.<\/p>\n<p>Creation team<br \/>\nConcept, direction, performance: Efthimis Theou<br \/>\nDramaturgy: Elektra Angelopoulou, Efthimis Theou<br \/>\nMusic: Kamien Case<br \/>\nCostume design: Pavlos Thanopoulos<br \/>\nChoreography: Nikoleta Xenariou<br \/>\nProduction: Georgina Chriskioti<br \/>\nAssistant director: Elektra Angelopoulou<br \/>\nCo-ordination (EMST): Anna Mykoniati<br \/>\nSound: Vangelis Nannos<\/p>\n<p>With the participation of the archaeologist Iris Tzachili.<\/p>\n<p>With the support of the Prehistoric Therasia Archaeological Project, conducted by the Ionian University, the University of Crete and the Ephorate of Antiquities of Cyclades.<\/p>\n<p>4 SEPTEMBER<br \/>\nARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM OF LAVRIO<\/p>\n<p>LAURIUM<br \/>\nAn on stage live documentary about the history of Lavrio narrated through music<\/p>\n<p>Time 21:00<\/p>\n<p>Free entrance.

With music always being present. With the choir and philharmonic becoming an essential part of a rich tradition and heritage. In the courtyard of the Archaeological Museum of Lavrio we unravel the thread of the unique (hi)story of the city: we listen to extracts of personal testimonials, narrations of certain events and facts, and to rebetiko and other old songs &#8211; searching for the modern identity of Laurion nowadays and our personal connection with it.<\/p>\n<p>Creation team<br \/>\nConcept and direction : Argyro Chioti<br \/>\nDramaturgy, research : Argyro Chioti, Efthimis Theou<br \/>\nVideo, visuals : Baubo Productions<br \/>\nMusic collaborator and drums : Jan Van de Engel<br \/>\nMusic collaborator, guitar and bouzouki : Giorgos Nikopoulos<br \/>\nWith (singing, narration) Giorgos Nikopoulos and Georgina Chryskioti<br \/>\nAssociate assistant : Katerina Kotsou<br \/>\nCoordination (EMST) : Anna Mykoniati<\/p>\n<p>SATURDAY 12 SEPTEMBER<br \/>\nARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE OF THE ROMAN AGORA, ATHENS<\/p>\n<p>DEEPER THAN SILENCE<br \/>\nA series of sound works on silence, pause and waiting<\/p>\n<p>Artists: Manolis Manousakis, Michalis Moschoutis, Acte Vide (Yannis Kotsonis and Danae Stefanou), Nicoleta Chatzopoulou<\/p>\n<p>Curated by: Daphne Vitali, Curator EMST<\/p>\n<p>Time: 18.00-20.00<\/p>\n<p>Admission with the archeological site\u2019s ticket, at least half an hour before the beginning of the performance:<\/p>\n<p>Full: \u20ac 8, Reduced: \u20ac 4<\/p>\n<p>It is necessary to book and present an admission ticket:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/digitalculture.gov.gr\/2020\/07\/deeper-than-silence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/digitalculture.gov.gr\/2020\/07\/deeper-than-silence\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Last spring, when the whole planet was in lockdown, we experienced a standstill. This pause was accompanied by a silence, but at the same time by a wait. For many, it was undoubtedly a moment of reflection and thoughtfulness, at a time when the present seemed to have been suspended and all seemed to have frozen in time. Life went on outside without the human race and we, through our homes, listened to this deafening force of silence that for some of us was revealing. For others though, it was unbearable. How can we think of silence through sound? Does silence exist and how is it interpreted? What is left when we are absent? What sounds do we humans leave behind us, and what are the sounds of the natural environment? How can we listen to the pause? Can we be silent and listen to the silence? Assimilate instead of consume? Ponder instead of produce? Turn waiting time into a fruitful and precious time?<\/p>\n<p>Sound is a vibration that is instantly absorbed by our body, and offers to the listener a subtle and subjective experience and memory. Sound artists have been invited to interpret silence and play live in their own unique way, urging audiences to rethink slowness instead of rush, stasis instead of movement, concentration instead of inconsistency, hearing instead of speech, silence instead of noise. Inside the archeological site, the ancient ruins that stood empty though imposing in the silence of the quarantine days, will once again welcome the public to listen to the silence and meditate on concepts such as pause and waiting. Visitors will be invited to be active listeners and to surrender to the frequency of sound and emotional arousal.<\/p>\n<p>SUNDAY 20 SEPTEMBER<br \/>\nOLYMPIEIO ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE<\/p>\n<p>PHRASIS<br \/>\nA performance by Tzeni Argyriou<\/p>\n<p>Time: 18.00-19.00<\/p>\n<p>Admission with the archeological site\u2019s ticket, at least half an hour before the beginning of the performance:<br \/>\nFull: \u20ac 8, Reduced: \u20ac 4<\/p>\n<p>It is necessary to book and present an admission ticket:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/digitalculture.gov.gr\/2020\/07\/phrasis-apo-to-ethniko-mousio-sigchronis-technis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/digitalculture.gov.gr\/2020\/07\/phrasis-apo-to-ethniko-mousio-sigchronis-technis\/<br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\nLiving in a time where physical distance and digital alienation have become fundamental parts of our social life, this project seeks to keep alive the human necessity of physical presence, communication and interaction. Expectantly, the project might become the occasion that brings our bodies in a common space, and connects us through an ancient land and a natural surrounding throughout the past, the present and the future. The starting point of the focus, study and research during the creation of the performance <em>Phrasis<\/em> by Tzeni Argyriou is the triptych \u201cspeech \u2013 body \u2013 space\u201d and the relationships and interpretations that occur by the interaction of these three elements. The performance draws its inspiration and materials from phrases, known or unknown, such as proverbs and ancient sayings, as well as from ancient and contemporary artworks, raising the question of how such condensed information embodied in timeless phrases may be attributed and interpreted today, physically, verbally and vocally.<\/p>\n<p>What happens when knowledge is interpreted in such a way that it is able to feed the experience of body movement? How can movements be translated into images, words, notions and vice-versa?<br \/>\n<em>Phrasis<\/em> by Tzeni Argyriou is constituted from fragments-phrases that are interconnected, not by a linear continuity but rather as autonomous parts of a whole project. Two of these fragments will be presented on Sunday, September 20, 2020: <em>Phrasis to go<\/em>, a quartet inspired by sacred geometrical formations, architectural symmetries and repetitions of motives, and <em>Phrasis to build<\/em>, a solo inspired by sculptures and paintings that represent various different eras, with strong use of gestures, as well as classical, contemporary, abstract and religious figures.<br \/>\nThese two fragments are part of a broader ongoing research conducted by the artist and new fragments will be presented within the frame of a new performance series at EMST, in dialogue with artworks from the museum\u2019s collection.<\/p>\n<p>CONTRIBUTORS<br \/>\nConcept &#8211; Choreography: Tzeni Argyriou<br \/>\nPerformers: Nancy Stamatopoulou, Ermis Malkotsis, Nikos Dragonas, Chara Kotsali, Joseph Nama<br \/>\nScientific collaborator &#8211; Curator: Daphne Vitali<br \/>\nDramaturgical support: Armin Kerber<br \/>\nCostumes design <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">&#8211;<\/span> Artistic collaborator: Olga Brouma<br \/>\nSpace &amp; set design: Vassilis Gerodimos<br \/>\nOriginal music: Maria Sideri<br \/>\nChoreographer\u2019s Assistant: Olga Maroudi<br \/>\nProduction coordination: Delta Pi<br \/>\nProduction: Amorphy<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; In the framework of the emergency measures taken in Attica, the performance PHRASIS\u00a0of Tzeni Argyriou that would be presented at Olympieio on 20.09 is postponed. &nbsp; EMST participates in the program All of Greece, One Culture of the Ministry of Culture &amp; Sports The National Museum of Contemporary Art Athens participates in the program [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":67366,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"single-exhibition-post.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31,30],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.emst.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67374"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.emst.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.emst.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.emst.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.emst.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67374"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.emst.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67374\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":78202,"href":"https:\/\/www.emst.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67374\/revisions\/78202"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.emst.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67366"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.emst.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67374"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.emst.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67374"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.emst.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
