Athens, GR, Oct 2020 __ I/We am/are really excited delving into the world of Antigone, by Sophocles. An unbelievably powerful team of actors, singers and dramaturges amalgamated to create the team I’ll be working with on this new production, aiming to premiere late 2021 to early 2020, starting from Athens, GR. There’s also a producer involved and we’re still open to co-productions. This work will be an Architectural study on the relationships, based on the exercise ‘Reverse Dramaturgy’ that I suggest and apply in my classes. Find info in the ‘Teaching Philosophy’ section, in bio link @lfacting. https://www.instagram.com/lfacting/ Working title: “Kreon + Antigone Or How to admit you’ve been defeated.” Still looking for one more role - a queer pro singer - and will be announcing an audition in Athens, Thessaloníki and/or online - after I’ve received your demos/submissions - open to all ethnicities, ages, must be able to sing beautifully at a professional level - open to all genres, must be able to be in Athens during rehearsals and performances, roughly October 2021-March 2022. Audition procedure should be completed by Nov 5th. Please, send over a PM in my IG account @labros.filippou with a short video (up to a minute) of you introducing yourself, age, artistic field and singing 2-3 looong musical notes, with a slight to no vibrato. Speak in your native language. If it’s not Greek or English, please write also a message translating in English what you just said in the video.

“manna” by And They Built Churches and Georgios Cherouvim | June – 3:00 PM – online performance (debut)

‘manna’ An audiovisual performance by And They Built Churches and Georgios Cherouvim This act is an online live dialogue. A bi-directional improv work during the quarantine days. Melodic lines from the Byzantine musical womb and Countertenor vocals will meet with Shamanic voice drones, animal voices and rhythmic patterns. A liturgy about oneness. No samples will be used in this work. The algorithmically generated images evolve and shift between ambiguous shapes and the human form, in an elegant interplay between synthesis, metamorphosis and image decomposition. Labros Filippou (ATBC) – Live vocals Georgios Cherouvim – Visuals • Duration: 60min • YouTube link: https://youtu.be/QT-3z53wc1w • The performance will take place on the 14th of June – 3pm EST and the link will remain public for 24 hours.

starts on May 3rd
