Namphaise is an audiovisual performance for chamber ensemble, electronics, video and light. Its nucleus is a new work by the Greek composer Zesses Seglias, thematic elements of which are employed to construct improvisational fields, in which archetypical images of a storyline shine through: this narrative thread is given by the myth of Namphaise, a scarcely known medieval saint, who seeks liberation from earthly contamination but is again and again confronted with the dark, animal sides of human existence, even beyond his death. While the storyline remains faintly intelligible, the harsh and sometimes grotesque images of Namphaise’s adventures inspire an approximately 50 minutes long abstract multimedia performance, that includes video & by Patrick Lechner light and Zesses Seglias’s new composition.
