"The tear" by Evi Soulis, Marilena Georgantzi, Kostas Theodorakis, is a performance which is part of the Ministry of Culture’s “All of Greece, One Culture 2023" programme, which this year is dedicated to the environment.
Description
"If you don't thrive in a place, consider whether it's not you but your environment..." The group Stereo Water follows the life of the inhabitants of the Mastic Villages of Chios and analyses their connection to the life cycle of the "weeping tree". Through poetic images and kinetic patterns, it observes the unique characteristics of the local microclimate and investigates the creation of the corresponding culture. Focusing on the ever-changing weather system, the performance "The tear" raises questions about the fragility of the symbiosis of human and non-human and the loss of inscribed collective experience. By studying the present condition through testimonies, archival material and cultural references of Chios, and in the light of an ongoing climate change, the performers create a community with new characteristics, coming from the future. The familiar intertwines with the unfamiliar, as humans try to find their place in emerging environments.
