Nicosia Municipal Theatre
9 November 2019
An immersive musical performance in which all areas of the Nicosia Municipal Theatre become accessible to audience members. The building's indoor spaces become a musical environment; an extensive musical installation in which the audience can move, following the performers as guides. During this interactive musical promenade, the audience discovers fragments of songs and melodies of different cultures, combined in an amalgamation of compositions that form the fabric of the performance.

Immersive Musical Theatre performance at the BoCCF
Composed and directed by Andreas Papapetrou, the performance assembles a group of ten musicians to breathe new life into the space through sound, movement and sculptural interventions, after years of abandonment.
Boasting the most majestic views of old Nicosia, the terrace on the top floor of the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation comes to life in an immersive musical theatre performance with a boldly experimental mood and elements of interactivity.

Desmōtēs is a music and dance performance inspired by the collections of the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation and Cypriot folklore. During the performance, a video art animation based on geometrical motifs from the BoCCF’s collections is projected on the set and directly on the dancer’s massive dress. This provides a visual interpretation of the musicians’ sounds, combined with pre-recorded material, and serves as an extension of the dancer’s gestural palette.
The performance’s themes draw upon the island’s folklore and on Greek mythology, exploring the idea of confinement as obstacle, punishment, sacrifice and means of redemption. As implied by the title, this includes myths about prisoners such as the sacrifice of Prometheus, the immuration of Antigone and the captivity of Persephone.

at the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation
Celebrating the European Museum Night, the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation invited the public to "The Sounding Museum", an immersive musical theatre performance. Contemplating the art and history of Cyprus, visitors set out on a sonic tour of the Foundation's exhibits and premises, created and curated by young Cypriot composer Andreas Papapetrou and performed by a group of ten classical musicians.
Weaving sounds using various instruments, the musicians walked alongside visitors, creating a constantly shifting 45-minute musical promenade that included a tour of the Foundation's museums and collections and the “Rooms to Contemplate” exhibition of contemporary Cypriot art.

How are we influenced by the fabrics, materials and shapes that surround us? How do they touch us? How do we feel them?
A moving sculpture, a river of fabric, an abstract landscape or an amorphous creature: between installation and performance, between the inanimate and the animate, between geometry and phantasm, the interdisciplinary production FELT renders homage to the sense of touch. Skin and cloth, constantly transformed by bone and muscle, become themselves a texture of movement, creating spaces for the imagination.
After its premiere in Luxembourg, the piece will embark on an international tour. Further information and dates at elisabethschilling.com.

Spindle - for harpist and assisting performers
Vibe Gallery, Bermondsey, London. 14th June 2013.
Performed by Maria-Christina Papadopoulou.
To perform this piece, the harpist needs the help of at least one assisting performer, who will guide the audience into wrapping both harpist and harp with yarn in the second half of the piece, creating a maypole-like effect, wrapping the harpist in a cocoon. The harpist stops playing when fully wrapped in yarn and the piece ends when the harpist is cut free by the assisting performers.
Nephéles
for orchestra
Trinity Laban Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Howard Williams.
Blackheath Halls, Blackheath, London. 31st October 2013
Nephéles is an experimental piece, in which every single member of the orchestra, including the conductor, is expected to walk in the concert hall and surround the audience while looping a musical phrase. The sound they produce fades out as all members of the orchestra gradually pass through the unseen "wall" separating them and the audience. The piece is meant to encourage both audience members and performers to think outside the box, to consider why the theatrical fourth wall exists to separate audience and performers and what it serves, and to question the culturally acquired modes of social behaviour expected from us when creating or attending events such as a classical music concert.

The Garden of Listening
For ensemble
Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, 6th February 2015
The Garden of Listening is a musical environment that works as an installation of fixed short duration with live performers. Set up as an exhibition of sounds and the performers creating them, it invites the audience to move through the space, choosing which of these "exhibits" to observe and for how long. Moving through the Garden this way — much like a bee travelling from flower to flower — each audience member follows a different path and receives a personalised experience of the performance.

In the Spotlight
for open ensemble.
Performance at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London on 17th January 2013.
This piece was specifically made to be performed in a gallery setting filled with exhibits or any diverse points of interest (instead of just a relatively large empty room). Apart from having no spatial division between audience and performers and allowing them to move around freely, when interaction between them occurs, the point of the piece was to direct the audience's attention to certain places or elements of the space and then to themselves as presences in this space.

Chiaroscuro
for ensemble (incl. dancers)
Performance at Dreamspace Gallery, London, 17th February 2012.
The name of this piece, "Chiaroscuro", is borrowed from the visual arts: it is an Italian term, which literally translates as light-dark, and it is a technique used in painting or photography to suggest volume, depth and modeling by accentuating tonal contrasts.
This piece was performed in a completely darkened empty room (at Dreamspace Gallery), using 8 musicians and 3 dancers, who were given instructions for improvisation that involved movement, modes of behaviour and the creation of sounds. Any performance activity, including sound, occurred only when in the spotlight.
Some audience members were randomly given torches, which they were expected to light up when the lights would go off, casting light in the direction and object or person of their choice.

Almudena Gonzalez - Flute
Wai Yee Lee - Bassoon

Skeleton Wing II for amplified Viola and Electronics, composed by Andreas Papapetrou.
Performed by Raisa Yordanova Zapryanova
18 November 2010, Chelsea Theatre, London.
The performer is asked to be both violent and lyrical, sometimes ‘destroying’ the sounds produced through intense bow pressure, sometimes playing extremely delicately. Thus, the viola becomes a fragile vessel, containing the processed echoes of its past.
Do Knot Undo
for piano & live electronics
Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, London on 27th February 2013.
Performed by Kristin Sofroniou & Andreas Papapetrou
Software programming by Matt Watt
Filming by Carmen Zografou.
Piano and live electronics piece for two or more performers. The performers take turns playing short improvisations on the same piano, based on the score. These are then reproduced and processed by a MaxMSP patch (programmed by Matt Watt for this piece) adding filters and an extremely long delay effect (using irregular timings), stacking up to 10 different layers of samples until a cloud of repeated sounds builds up. When the performers are not playing on the piano they take a piece of yarn, tie one end on the piano and the other end somewhere in the room (including tying it on audience members). This is constantly repeated in order to create a giant web around the instrument, literally entwining performance space, performers and audience members throughout the the event.
Schilling / Papapetrou - Unbeschriebenes Blatt
for string quartet and dance.
Composer: Andreas Papapetrou
Choreographer Elisabeth Schilling
Music performed by Akiko Ishikawa (violin), Angie Casdas (violin), Raisa Zapryanova (viola), and Kristína Chalmovská (violoncello).
Dance performed by Nigel Beard, Fabian Brandt, Masako Matsushita, Marcella Piscitelli, Artémise Ploegaerts and Melina Tolle.
Dramaturge: Moritz Gansen
Video excerpts from Enter, Experience, Exit
Blackheath Halls, London, 16th June 2011
Filmed by: Sedi Ghadiri & Jason Griffiths
The dramaturgical concept of the piece is based on the idea of the Marathon race, and was inspired by the extreme bodily states a Marathon runner experiences while being observed by an audience.

Exercise: Les Noces pushes the limits of performance by interweaving music, dance and visual art. The work translates Bronislava Nijinska’s iconic ballet Les Noces to an installation of ‘ready-made choreographies’: replicated and re-performed artworks, design objects and video clips.
Throughout the four-hour live-installation, the audience is invited to watch and listen, move around, come and go as they please or even attend a self-defence class. Exercise: Les Noces expands the conventional verges of dance performance, introducing a durational installation that challenges the frames of both theatre and gallery.

Moving Silence 2017 - Maria Yerosimou & Andreas Papapetrou
Film: Wojtek Skowron
Music: Andreas Papapetrou
Harp: Maria Yerosimou
'Moving Silence' is Berlin-based Platform for contemporary silent film.
by Vasiliki Antonopoulou:
XPAT is comprised of four sections. These feature four buildings which are, or have been, past homes. Shot between Greece and Saudi Arabia, the houses become metaphors that represent previous lovers. Architecture becomes body, and body becomes architecture. The use of architecture as a metaphor for love and loss is used to question the nature of hetero-normative existences through the presentation and questioning of symmetry. Seminal design objects are used as analogies questioning socially constructed future expectations and the place of the queer body within them.
Through the use of text and moving image, XPAT is a visual poem through familiarity and displacement between love and loss. The viewers engage in a slow and immersive process of reading and image viewing that takes them on a narrative of nostalgia, and fantasy. Acting like a visual poem, an intimate environment is created to talk about love and place, travelling between past, present and future.
