Description
This summer, the IONIA Orchestra and Choir of Nea Ionia, Volos presents a dynamic and diverse Music Theatre performance titled RΟ. on the edge of Time. The 13-member orchestra of traditional instruments, the 20-member mixed choir and 11 actors will take audiences on a ritual journey where tradition meets the present day. “Humans are not human if they feel no fear at all; they are human because they fear, because they fall and bend and yet they rise and go on again.” On the occasion of Menander’s verse, “Ὡς χαρίεν ἔστ’ ἄνθρωπος, ὅταν ἄνθρωπος ᾖ” (“How graceful is man when they are really a man”) and drawing inspiration from the Lady of Ro, our own Ro is the Guardian of Love. She stands on the edge of Time, just before the world comes to an end, and guards Love. Her ally is the Chorus, the people who express her fear, her hope, her joy, but also the dialogue with society and its voices. In our time, when war rages everywhere and in every possible form, our performance invites the audience into a ritual of peace, so that we may remember from the very beginning, all together, to guard Love.
