Descent

The Archaeological Museum of Alexandroupolis hosts the visual performance Descent, on 9 and 10 August 2026, as part of All of Greece, One Culture 2026.

The Descent initiates a process of self-understanding through a post-anthropocentric perspective, in which human existence is conceived as part of a network of interspecies relationships. These symbiotic structures are neither stable nor balanced; rather, they are shaped by asymmetries, dependencies, and continuous transformations.

The work invites audiences to participate in a collective experience of descent through unseen geological layers, entering a liminal field of experience where social and perceptual conditions become destabilized. It unfolds as a ritual of unlearning, a sequence of unexpected encounters—or confrontations—with the ground, materiality, and non-human forms of life. What would it mean to care for the planet if doing so required the invention of radically new ways of listening, perceiving, and coexisting?
