Confusion

An interactive symbolic work consisting of a wire brain construction is presented. By interlacing it with metal wire, a good conductor of electricity, emphasis is placed on the function of the brain as a neural network, where thousands of neuronal synapses take place. The human body produces electricity, the brain's electrical chemical signals, light is memory and darkness is forgetting. The gradual decrease in the intensity of light produced in the facility, as regulated by the dimmer, symbolizes the gradual decline of the cognitive functions of the human brain. As it increases, it causes shadows on the paper, sudden flashes of automatic recollection of past experiences. Photography is the imprint on a material medium of an event in the external world, but the motive behind it is man's need to keep the experienced emotion alive.

It’s Monday, the 13th of December 1943, the small town of Kalavryta is set on fire by the occupation army of Nazi Germany while the entire male population is being gathered on a nearby hill and shot dead. This war crime will go down in history, along with the massacre of Acqui Division, as the largest mass killing in Greece during WWII. Three men who witnessed these events as kids, locked up with the rest women, children and elderly people in Kalavryta’s primary school, recall this traumatic experience.

INRIRI - Interactive Audiovisual Theatrical Performance
Views: 2343

Myths are living stories that grow with time, change, adapt, but continue being a source for research, inspiration and creativity. The interactive audiovisual theatrical performance INRIRI questions the adaptation of an archetypal myth at a time of many dimensions and levels with elements from physical theater and embedded interactive technology in the performing space. Parts of the story are a Caribbean myth which transforms the body, a woodpecker and some new experimental technologies. On stage two bodies try to communicate with themselves and the environment around them and to discover anew what a body can be, what the relation and connection with the other body and which are the influences of the surrounding space on them.

The compositional method is based on the incorporation of sound material of cultural background into an electroacoustic piece. By drawing a linear narration, my aim was to demonstrate a unity, an imaginary community, which characterizes the Romani culture, despite the hybridic, complicated and diverse traditions deriving from the various European and Asian countries its people live in. A central question behind the making of this piece is what kind of role can a civilization have today, when the concept of space is eliminated by time- a key element in the dynamics of capitalism. What are the cultural consequences of the so-called annihilation of time and space, as materialized and tangible dimensions of social life? Are historical tradition and the search for roots promoted and reorganized as simulacra, imitations or/and museum culture, thourgh the demonstration of a partly deceptive past?
