Το Σκάσιμον acoustic narration

‘’This is a crucial violent moment,

a world is falling apart, another has yet to exist

we are in danger within chaos,  we are drowning.’’

Σκασιμόν uses fragments of The Murderess by Alexandros Papadiamantis and Ascesis: The Saviors of God by Nikos Kazantzakis, creating a new narration with direct comments on the original texts. The Murderess reveals the lost or the oppressed desire, the lack of choice. Fragkogiannou tries violently to change the fate of the women or tries to save her self, whilst, she has already raised sons that cause suffer. Circles of blood and gender are in repetition, women are the same person, men are the same person. And the victimizer is becoming one with the victim. Ascesis adds to Σκασιμον the words, inorder to communicate openly about matters like agony, love, memory and fear, about the personal debt as a necessity of existence, about the choice.

 

“…when we started working on the specific texts and finding sounds, we immediately decide on a new performing form for us, Acoustic Narration. We continue our trials with the intention of developing the story of a wandering soul. Mainly with Σκάσιμον, we are interested on experimenting and breaking conventions which we use so far or even doubt them…”
