Ancient Theatre of Hephaestia, Lemnos
The musical ensemble Oros Ensemble joins forces with the Environmental Protection and Architectural Heritage Club of Lemnos “Anemoessa”, as part of a special initiative. Using art, environmental protection and primary production as goals and as a creative core, a site-specific lyrical performance is created. At its centre lies Lemnos, the “Volcanic Island”, the “granary of the Aegean”, the flattest island of Greece, with its unending wheatfields that has brought forth unique native varieties.
For the project Seeds in Danger or The Sound of the White-Eyed Beans, Afkos and Barley Oros Ensemble and Anemoessa collaborate with baritone Tassis Christoyannis and the local Kournos Music Festival, which aims at organising site-specific music-centered events both in the island’s natural environment and in selected buildings of historical or architectural importance. The production will be supported by Danai Sfakianou, an agronomist whose goal is to support traditional practices of the primary sector, so as to help preserve biodiversity and the special landscape of Lemnos.
