“Charis Koini…” – A Ritual of Coexistence
Start of reservations: 24.07

Description
The Polis Ensemble presents the music-and-visual performance “Charis Koini…” – A Ritual of Coexistence, an artistic exploration of the threads that connect people across places, languages, and eras. Through music, voice, and image, the performance illuminates forms of collective memory and shared experience that endure through time and are passed down from generation to generation. Drawing on musical traditions from the Mediterranean, the Balkans, the Caucasus, and North Africa, the Polis Ensemble approaches these diverse cultural expressions as manifestations of a common anthropological landscape. Birth, Community, Separation, and Return form the dramaturgical journey of the performance, unfolding through lullabies, prayers, laments, and wedding songs that are creatively transformed through improvisation and collective musical practice.
With the participation of Anna Linardou as vocalist and Dimitris Sylvestros as director and visual artist, live music and video installation are woven together into a unified poetic environment. Within this immersive setting, personal experience meets the collective, and human presence itself becomes a place of encounter, dialogue, and coexistence.
