“APOPEIRA” of a performance

“We will open the book in many dimensions so that everyone can see, hear and feel the poetry.”

On the occasion of the publication of her new poetry collection, Apopeira (published by Smili, 2024), Efi Chrysou organizes at KET a special poetic performance that combines spoken word, video art, live music and an after punk ‘n’ roll party.

Apopeira is her second poetic work, after Apotipoma (published by Ars Nocturna, 2021), and focuses on loss and death.

Experiential, free of forms, contemporary and politicized, her poetry is inspired by lyricism, punk and symbolism. She creates with free verses and spontaneity.

At KET, Efi Chrysou is accompanied by musicians Nefeli Lysimachou (drums), Michalis Chrysos (guitar) and Jason Leontidis (bass), and Peni Theodosiou on video art.

Born in Agios Nikolaos, Crete, Efi Chrysou has been writing poetry since her teenage years and considers poetry to be completely accessible and a constant means of inner and social expression. She is already working on her third collection entitled Mazi.Pote, marking a new creative path.
