Project summary

According to Greek mythology, Aeolus was the god of wind but also the companion of Aeneas who escorted him from Troy to Italy after the city’s occupation by the Greeks. The name, thus, demonstrates a multilayered symbolism: the power of wind, the natural forces that connect people, the relentless motion of the sea and the continuous cultural flow from East to West. The project draws inspiration from these concepts to establish an open-ended co-operation between two artists from the eastern and western basin of the Mediterranean. Saxophonist Bruno Tomasello and storyteller Marina Katsari will create and present a performance piece that intertwines words and sounds, transcends musical and geographical boundaries and seeks meaningful connections in a creative and expressive manner.
