All Is One/Anamnesis, Minoan Palace of Zakros, Crete, 2021, Official Trailer
We are thrilled to present Apostolia’s original production All Is One, an experiential representation of rolling flow events based on Kinesis, Melos, and Logos, specially designed for the Minoan Palace of Zakros, still untouched by time, disappeared from the map of history in 1400 BC.
Connecting cultural heritage with contemporary performance art, “All Is One” draws inspiration from the fiery faith of the Minoans in Mother Nature or the Great Goddess of Crete. Performers and the audience create a mystical experience of connection with the ever-circling motion of the surrounding world.
Everything forms a perfect circle, the only shape that has neither beginning nor end. Everything moves endlessly in the same direction, just like celestial bodies, the seasons, and this life, all returning to the same point without stopping or disappearing.
An amazing artistic team contributed to making All Is One a memorable performance, with an original music score by Trifon Koutsourelis, costumes by Ifigeneia Daudaki, and texts by acclaimed theater director/actor Akylas Karazisis.
Bringing together live on stage the singer/vocalist Maria Papageorgiou and the art direction in lighting/photography of Areion Stefanidis, turned the archeological site of Zakros into a living mythical space, while the participation of local children and adults made the myths of the past more present than ever.
All Is One is performed by nine performers: Akylas Karazisis, Apostolia Papadamaki, Maria Papageorgiou, Plotinos Eliadis, Konstantina Liontou, Antonis Strouzas, Maria Papakonstantinou, Evita Tsakalaki, Roula Samiotaki.
