Mystery 83 Spe Meliore Moriendi
project
Description
Mystery 83 Spe Meliore Moriendi was an interdisciplinary work/action by Marios Fournaris, that was presented at the Old Railway Station of Eleusis on April 2023.
It was an inter-art synergy of visual art, performance art and music in collaboration with the musicians Georgia Balabini and Mislav Režić and with the participation of various cultural groups of Elefsina. The work/action set in the spotlight the rethinking of the characteristics that make up the whole of the ephemeral human existence, through the counterpoint of symbolic representations of the mythical world and the Renaissance. The artistic proposal included three parts: the sculptural environment, the performance and the music. Marios Fournaris’ sculptural installations, which referred to nature and the compositional structures of the dwelling of the pre-linguistic world, constituted the conceptual framework of a transition to the intercultural and transhuman value of Myth, through the element of the Other of the non-Western. The aesthetic effect of the sculptural compositions appeared as a contradiction to the conceptual content of the context of English Renaissance and Baroque music included in the concert programme. Georgia Balabini and Mislav Režić performed a musical work that transcended the boundaries of classical composition by combining voice and electric guitar, an instrument better known from rock or jazz music. The musical programme, consisting of works by John Dowland (1563 – 1626) and Henry Purcell (1659 – 1695), was presented in a new, contemporary light with the use of various guitar sound effects, loops and improvisations for voice and guitar, which ran according to the programme, interconnecting the performed pieces in a continuous structure.
