Awakening of the Muse - Project Summary Awakening of the Muse is a musical performance with/or without dance, where the Muse of antiquity is awakened through musical instruments, ancient and modern poems, choreographies based on images from attic pottery, and female voices. "Sing my beloved Muse, start my melodies. Let the breeze, which comes from your groves, captivate my mind." 2nd century AD, Unknown composer. The musical pieces are selected in relation to the awakening of inspiration. Some of them are in ancient Greek language, like the song of the Sirens from the Odyssey. Others rely on the power of percussions and dance, such as the dance of the witch Circe, and also include some emblematic traditional songs, such as the Perfume or the Desert’s Nightingale. Overall, the show alternates between the ancient, traditional and modern worlds, exuding beauty, lyricism and sensuality, according to the Greek standards.
