nymph
🟣 "her body" / "το σώμα της" 🟡
NIKOS DIMINAKIS & ELISAVET PANAGIOTOU (GR/CY)
Sun. 27 July, 20:30 | Windcraft Music Fest | Katydata
As the nymph Syrinx ran to escape from Pan, the gods transformed her into a reed. The myth says this was to save her, but Pan broke the reed into pieces and made his flute.
“her body” is a call for the reeds to become bones again and our breaths will persist until she takes back her body.

The performance’s music is original, primarily based on the use of diverse and heterogeneous wind instruments, alongside vocal beatbox and overtone singing techniques, presented both individually and in combination through the various instruments. The corporealities and choreographic material of the performance draw inspiration from the myth of Pan and Syrinx, as well as from the Mexican myth of La Loba.
