Description
Set in the heart of one of the Mediterranean’s most significant archaeological sites, the Cape of Santorini, the performance Sliding Slalom/Stroggyli is a site-specific event inspired by Nitsa Tzortzoglou’s novel When the Earth is Enraged.
Four actors guide the audience through a “slalom” that explores four eras: the prehistoric Stroggyli, Thera in 1978, the seven years of excavations from 1967 to 1974, and modern Santorini. The narrative unfolds at the archaeological site, incorporating insights from the traces left by people and natural disasters.
Spectators are not merely observers. They move through the space, connect to the story, follow the traces of a mysterious necklace, and participate in a scenic journey, where the past is not viewed as a museum element but as a vibrant and moving experience, open to reinterpretation. This journey culminates in an open contest of creative writing, where audience members become “storytellers,” and their most exceptional stories will be published in a collective volume, leaving a new mark on the grand narrative of this remarkable place.
