Alexandros Atlidakis - Underathens Association — Synochi
Musician - Novis Lucet aka Nikolas Livaditis(nL), visual artists Anna Theocharaki, Maestro komikern, Eugenia Demeglio, Aggelos Papadopoulos, as well as «the contact impro lab» team come together for a single ensemble with a «wordless» coherence.
The Underathens Association celebrates four years of active presence in the Athenian art & music scene, with the performance -Synochi-. The Underathens team maintains an active identity both in the musical process as well as in the production and promotion of the contemporary art/music scene. Action - Synochi - is the quality of forming a single whole. It examines dialogue ability at regular levels of continuity and rhythm with repetition as a key element. The performance - Synochi - reflects the relationship and the ability to communicate between the arts. Coherent communication is achieved when ideas are well connected and flow smoothly into each other. We observe that social cohesion is reflected as a stable, harmonious alignment of relationships that allows the efficient flow and use of energy and communication required for optimal collective action.
A musical soundscape converses with a visual installation aiming to dress up the movement that is evoked by the above that encloses the action and aims at a unified dialogue between arts and senses.
