Photo of the performers. A white, wooden table. Underneath the table, a woman with brown hair wearing a blue short dress, buttoned up to her neck. She has her lower torso on the floor, while her upper torso and legs hover a few inches above the ground. She looks forward with a smirk on her lips. On the table, a woman in a white striped shirt and a colorfully patterned skirt has the same pose. She is looking to the left. Her face is full of tension. To her left, a man is lying sideways across the table, letting his torso, arms and head hang down. His head is turned toward the camera and he is looking straight ahead with a slight smile.

A few words about the performance:

Can we reverse our view of the world for a moment? See beyond the world of matter? A special place on the border between myth and reality, inhabited by fantasies and ghosts, is invited to be discovered by the polyphonic composition created for the Festival by Argyro Chioti, with a mixed group of performers, consisting of actors, dancers, and singers.


Metaphysical stories and legends inspire a narrative that claims a return to myth. On stage, an existential place of ‘refreshment’ is generated. A place where souls gather to quench their thirst, amidst visions and spirits of nature, questioning the relationship between the individual and the collective.
