Synopsis
In Larissa, in an ancient theater among modern apartment buildings, in a place where the past and the present are necessarily cohabited, a new life will be created. Starting with the music, dance and poetry of Seferis, a celebration will take place. Through repetitive dance patterns, drawing inspiration from pop culture, Greek tradition and Walt Disney cartoons, a ceremony of rebirth will be created in a place where time equates. Five people will meet. They will wait. A sixth will come and they will welcome him. They will bid him farewell and resurrect him. In the dark they will dance together. Nature will die and be resurrected. Man will die and be resurrected. In the dark again. Music. The New Life.
