Meetings

When motion meets the word, the object, the voice, the image, the colour,
when Sachtouris meets Mozart

There is the approaching of the motion through text, object, voice, image, colour. At the same time there is the combined approaching between poetry and music, between a great poet and a great composer. Thus, the meeting is double: the motion meets the word, the object, the voice, the image, the colour; Just like Sachtouris meets Mozart.

2006 was the anniversary of 250 years since the birth of Mozart and one year since the death of the poet Miltos Sachtouris.
