To kill the death: Have we succeeded
\nto convert the longevity supplement
\nin a lifetime supplement?<\/em>

\u00a0 \u00a0 Medea Electronique art collective continues her research into myth, trying to explore the boundaries of technology and to create a new type of drama: The Poetics of the Digital Era Can technology be poetic? Prometheus is now free and wandering. The gods have died. Having given the fire-technology to humans, he stands to observe them: with the fire they try to live well, to move beyond. They feel omnipotent. They are players and play-things, the game of the world continues. We conceive music, poetry, dancer’s body, digital interactive technology, as versions of fire-technology.\u00a0
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 A performance-score, driven by musical compositions, sounds and improvisations of the musicians, the lyric singer and the dancers on stage. Using the human body as thread, the French dance group Cie S\u00e9bastien Perrault choreographs and animates with an already existing experience in contemporary representations of myth. And then, the Logos, is always present: The poetic text flows during the performance, composed of extracts from Prometheus Bound by Aeschylus and lyrics that Medea Electronique especially composed for the show. Video mapping, live visuals, live electronics and audio-video-body interaction as a rhapsode, weave the story.<\/p>\n

Medea Electronique<\/p>\n

With a creeping pun between Medea and Media (the new media), Medea Electronique was founded in 2006 and consists of creative people who share the mood for innovation, moving in the greater field of contemporary art. Active in fields such as music, animation, multimedia, art installations,interactive technologies, and multimedia event production, the members of the group merge separate research and practice fields in an effort to develop a particular style. The activity of Medea Electronique includes contemporary theatre performances, experimental audiovisual performances and installations, site specific works, electroacoustic music compositions. Its work has been presented at the Onassis Cultural Center, the Visitor Centre of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, the Benaki Museum, the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation, the French Institute of Athens, Vyrsodepseio, Booze Cooperativa in festivals and events.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, since 2009 the Medea Electronique organises the 10-day artistic residency Koumaria, in Sellasia Sparta, considered to be one of the best, at an international level in the field of new media art and improvisation practice. Pioneering artists from around the world, inspired by the Greek natural landscape, meet to produce a multi-cultural and multi-media dialogue that culminates in a presentation in Athens at the end of the program.<\/p>\n
