Case of Emergency

Live Electronics/Cinema/Painting Performance project

Case of Emergency is the project title of a performance dealing with the ongoing multilevel decay of the historical (and not only) part of down-town Athens, Greece. Athens, like most EU capitals, is loaded with a sequence of historical events, cultural tendencies and practical particularities, which are embodied in variable percentages as aspects of the city’s contemporary character. Such an aspect with a major impact relates to the city’s architecture – buildings, streets and land marks – shaping our habitat and so our everyday life. Our “walkthrough” starts exactly here.

Project 1

Interactive Live Show

21 Apr, at Benaki Mouseum (Athens, Greece)

Project_1 was performed at Benaki Museum in Athens Greece and is a mixed media show loosely based on the Myth of Medea and the Euripides play of the same name. It comprises live and tape music, live electronics video and VJ-ing, actors and singers and light projections. It has been also staged so far in Corfu (Ionian Academy Concert Hall) and San Diego, USA (NWEAMO Festival) during Spring, Summer and Fall 2007 respectively.

The installation performance largely relies on the combination of the human element and interactive technology to create a dynamic

environment where visual and sonic data of the performance are continuously processed and re-imported into the play. Spectators are expected to express their sentiments towards the story; their reactions will be taken into account by the interactive system to modify the current environment.

The positioning of multiple visual sources of moving picture, sound and light around the audience, will help towards that direction – the projected action will create a strong impact on the viewer as well as a feeling of ‘being there’. The spectator, by offering his recorded feedback will in a sense co-direct the play.The Performers, VJ & Live Electronics performance takes a different approach, focusing on creating maximum impact from a limited set of resources. Vocal performers and musicians on stage, electronics performers and the VJ closely interact albeit within a more specifically regulated framework, to create once again the impression of a virtual environment oozing with dynamism.
