towards a collective experience of spiritual immersion<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anna Tzakou and the Geopoetics group present the performance “Volax”. Four performing arts artists interact live with images of Volakas, an area of the inland of Tinos scattered with granite boulders that give the landscape a unique lunar character. By attempting an experiential mapping of the Cycladic landscapes, they create a network of proximity and affinity between themselves, the viewers and the present moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project is based on the methodology of the research workshop Project Volax: Towards the Search for Soil<\/em> (Geopoetics group, Tinos 2021), which explores the Cycladic landscape as a mode of existence, ontological process and practice of “being” and examines the ways in which we see, project and manifest our collective dreaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The performance is structured around a large-scale video installation based on the visual material of the on-site research. The height projections simulate the Tinian geological landscape with the neutral space of the KET and reproduce the archetypal time of the Cyclades as a field of pure experience and open awareness. Within this context and in interplay and reflection with it, the artists perform a living action and invite the audience to respond embodiedly, tracing their own inner path. In a hybrid “in-between” between digital and physical space, internal and external landscapes are woven into a multimedia narrative, creating an environment of immersion towards a collective Self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
