Description
“If only I could get out of this body and have a different one”.
The Reading of Transformations is a musical performance that explores the timelessness of destiny and its connection to both individual and collective choices. Through the stage narration of three myths by Ovid – Echo and Narcissus, Erysichthon, and Phaethon – in Theodoros Papangelis’ Greek translation, the eternal fluidity of earthly bodies comes to the foreground. An orchestral instrumental ensemble engages in dialogue with the narrators and a percussion ensemble, creating lively soundscapes and narrative timbres. Sometimes it accompanies storytelling, while at other times, it takes on a leading role, transforming sound into a carrier of action and meaning, thereby illuminating the dynamics of the collective body. Two vital questions emerge from this performance: Is destiny inevitable, or is it a result of our decisions? How do classical myths embody modern reality?
