GENESIS | Genetic Research & Digital Visualization in the Performing Arts 

One of the most important tasks of the ‘Genesis’ Project is the in depth study of the creative process leading to the forthcoming production of Romeo #Castellucci – to be presented as part of ‘Eleusis European Capital of Culture 2023’. In late September, the ‘Genesis’ researchers accompanied Romeo for the third time at the #archaeological site of #Eleusis and recorded every single moment! #Eleusis #Eleusis2023 #performance #creativeprocess #Demeter #MotherEarth #Ma #RomeoCast

Here, Demeter, the mother, demanded that her daughter return from the dead. Here, the impossible was attempted: an experience of death while still alive.

Together with the Director of the Ephorate of Antiquities of West Attica Kalliope Papangeli, the Artistic Director of 'Eleusis 2023' Michael Marmarinos and Eleni Papalexiou recording every single moment of the creative process! #Eleusis #Eleusis2023 #perf

Eleusis. Here, a ritual was brought into being, made up of silent visions, far deeper than any of the words that would later serve to codify the myth.

Eleusis. Here, the sun beats down strongly from on high in the sky and cannot but generate pitch black shadows. Romeo Castellucci's third visit to the archaeological site of Eleusis.
