The Ritual of Amane
Dates
19.08 — 20.08.2022
Description
This musical performance involves a structured interactive improvisation (stemming from the form of the amane itself), which is connected to the Greek poetry of the 30’s.
The music is inspired by the historical/traditional amane but also provides space to more modern and free musical experimentations. The aim is to emphasize the fact that this is not a music tradition in danger of extinction but a potentially living form, which can function in the present even outside the context of its historical frame of reference.
Respectively, regarding the lyrics, the form of amane will also be preserved, but, instead of using popular verses, this musical performance will use excerpts from 1930’s “art” poetry.
