En Plo

The work focuses on two historical maritime events: the sinking of the ancient ship of Kyrenia and the destruction of the Greek cruiser Elli at Tinos. It incorporates scenic and sonic objects  including parts of a sailing ship, fans, and chairs – which are activated and mobilized during the performance, creating a multi-sensory and spatially dynamic environment.

Furthermore, five types of electro-acoustic transducers diffuse sound throughout the performance space, projecting a spectral blend that enhances the immersive character of the work.
