Mystery 108 Kamares
project
Description
Mystery 108 Kamares was a project by Euripides Laskaridis, that was presented at the Leonidas Kanelopoulos Cultural Center in January 2023.
Following the presentation of his latest work TOURNÉ (2022, Little Theatre of Ancient Epidaurus), and in parallel with the ongoing international tour of three signature productions of his – RELIC (2015), TITANS (2017), and ELENIT (2019), Laskaridis and his team took over the two-storey 1930s building of the Leonidas Kanellopoulos Cultural Centre and turned it into a hub for artistic experimentation and research. Driven by his core concerns of transformation and illusion, and working at the intersection between theatre, dance and the visual arts, Laskaridis forged a universe, the reality of which eschewed any kind of linear perception, stimulating both the senses and the imaginations of artist-performers and audiences alike. Laskaridis’ artistic team proposed fragments of the creator’s universe — materials and characters from his studio — through a distorting mirror of constant mutation. Viewers moved semi-autonomously through the outdoor and indoor spaces, exploring the transformed cultural center and its courtyard, while its empty chambers were transformed into a complex and detailed terrarium, where the creator coordinated, participated, corrected, answered his emails or sat down and observed the creatures that had occupied his life’s work. In the meantime, in the garden there was a kiosk that did not sell anything, while under a big tent, an unexpected musical ensemble performed.
The characters appearing from the plays RELIC (2015), TITANS (2017) and ELENIT (2019) as well as some costume exhibits were either tests or completed works by the costume designer Angelos Mentis.
Mystery 108 Kamares was funded by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports, while the visual part of the performance (installation) was also presented in the frame of Mystery 0 Mysteries of Transition - Opening Ceremony on February 5, 2023.
