Peramatisma – Weaving the Future of the World from the Past of the Land

Peramatisma is a cultural proposal inspired by the timeless ritual of weaving on a traditional loom, known as “peramatisma” – the process of interlacing threads according to each weft’s pattern and style through the loom’s instruments. As a concept, peramatisma becomes a tool for understanding the intertwining of the local with the global, tradition with innovation, time with space, and humanity with matter and technology.

Presented on Mount Psiloritis, at the Idaean Cave—a place of special significance and strong symbolism in Crete—this work aims to blend cultural memory with contemporary creation, focusing on the role of the human creator. Through Peramatisma, the dynamic of weaving emerges as a gesture, a symbol, and a cultural code; as an intersection of traditional arts with new technologies and digital forms of expression; as an interlacing of different musical idioms that lead to a new listening experience.

The production “Peramatisma – Weaving the Future of the World from the Past of the Land” took place on 21 and 22 August 2025 at the Idaean Cave, Anogeia, Psiloritis.

The filming of the production took place as part of the Project “Sub 3.29 Platform for managing cultural events in archaeological sites and museums”, which is included in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan “Greece 2.0” and is funded by the NextGenerationEU plan.
