Echoes of Silence

Eine interaktiv-immersive Performance

ECHOES OF SILENCE is an interactive-immersive music-theatrical performance. The focus is on the international audience as a community, who interacts along democratic principles and is shaping the course of the performance. Based on the Greek resistance during the time of the German occupation and in particular the women partisans, FrauVonDa, both in terms of content and music, addresses different aspects of resistance and political activism, from a historical and contemporary perspective.
The evening is composed of contemporary world premieres by Eleftherios Veniadis and free improvisations/real-time compositions by the ensemble. These modules subject to the democratic process and are arranged spontaneously.
The production combines the analog space of the Elisabethkirche with a virtual interaction space developed especially for this project. The live audience and the transnational online audience shape the content, course and dramaturgy of the performance together with the stage actors. All parameters are up for discussion: sound aspects, musical dramaturgy, casting and visual design as well as the lighting design are negotiated together by voting or in discourse panels.
FrauVonDa's new production is created in the context of the Greek initiative ALLOTHROE - Echoes of Europe/Voices of Solidarity and at the invitation of its founder Ioanna Valsamidou.
The performance is in English.
