The Passage: A Rowing of Transition

Description

Ιn the garden of the Byzantine Museum of Argos, where the soil remembers more than people do, a ceremony begins almost silently. Three actors and a chorus of elderly participants from Argolis, compose a stage experience as if they are following instructions they were never given, and yet execute them with precision. Inspired by the myth of Lynceus and Hypermnestra, the dramaturgy moves between memory, loss, and the uncertainty of the end. Two psychopomps converse with those transitioning from life to death. Bodies come to a halt, yet souls stubbornly continue. Some refuse to cross without their loved ones, and love renders death insignificant.
The passage: a process that has already begun—we simply have not been notified.
