The performance “With the slowness of divers” is a silent music theatre performance for two musicians and one actress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Its starting point is Darius Milhaud<\/strong>‘s Le B\u0153uf sur le Toit <\/em>(1919) \u2014 a composition with intense irony and theatricality, which Jean Cocteau<\/strong> framed with a scenario of absurd theater, where the heroes resemble puppets and the scenes challenge the boundaries between music and action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Having in their hands Cocteau’s surrealistic scenario, the duo tessera kappa <\/strong>set out to find the true ending to the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After years of research and sessions with psychologists and bartenders, political analysts, journalists and fortunetellers, it was revealed that a hundred years later a silent person and two musicians meet at the bar where Ligeti <\/strong>and Pasopoulos<\/strong> get their revenge on Milhaud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The story continues at KET on Tuesday, November 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the support of the J.F. Costopoulos Foundation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udd37 Aris Troupakis<\/strong> was born in Athens in 1976 and is a graduate of the Drama School of the Art Theater, the National Theater’s Directing Workshop, and a member of the Director’s Lab at Lincoln Center Theater in New York.
