Castle of Trikala

Natalia Kotsani and Tasos Kofodimos, two of the most active and acclaimed performers and creators of the modern Greek music scene, join their forces once again by setting and performing Bergadis’ poem Apokopos, in an original musical production. With their compositions, voices and musical instruments as a vehicle, they present a pioneering setting that is inextricably linked with the roots of the Greek musical tradition and elements from traditional idioms of the Mediterranean. They propose a modern performative approach of the vocal idioms of the Greek tradition, through original and special orchestrations. Visual artist Natalia Manta illustrates the narration in real time through live visuals that are screened on the stage. Alongside them, three acclaimed musicians and collaborators, at times experimenting and at times improvising, enhance this synergy with their own temperament and artistry.
