The Pythia Trio from Greece travels to Paphos this month to present a one-hour musical theatre piece with six hands on piano. With no interruption for applause, the performance continues for 60 minutes, bringing a sense of theatre to the music.

Set to step onto the stage of Technopolis 20 on November 13, the performers blend original musical compositions, movement, speech, singing, narration and painting together. In this way, they explore new means in which contemporary music creation and performance can interact with other artforms.

Performers Myrto Akrivou, Iro Menegou and Thalia Papadopoulou explore and seek new means, materials and techniques in the performance of the instrument, through contemporary music creation and its interaction with other arts.

Their upcoming performance is titled Anamoni (The Wait) and commenting on this theme, organisers say: “Waiting is inextricably linked to our perception of time. It stretches endlessly when we await something uncertain or eagerly desired. For some, waiting is paralysing, an unbearable suspense of inertia. For others, it is wasteful a drain on time, energy and opportunities. However, waiting is more than a passive state – it is a deep test of endurance, a mirror reflecting our vulnerabilities in the face of the unknown.

“Pythia Trio, faithful to its five-year course, approaches a new theme that can occupy completely different groups, but its various aspects certainly touch the wider audience. Embarrassment, fear, anticipation, boredom, uncertainty and many other emotional conditions flirt or dominate moments of our everyday life. With humour, creativity and tenderness, the ensemble tries to illuminate moments of waiting and its imprint on the reactions and experiences of those involved.”
