Spontaneous Symphony for Barrels is a participatory sound happening where oil barrels and self-made instruments are offered to the audience as percussive objects, played with drumsticks. The performance unfolds as a spontaneous act—an impulsive eruption of sound without premeditation or external prompt. Rhythm and tempo emerge organically through the collective dynamics of the audience, transforming participation into process.

Antonis Vais, in collaboration with 12 performers of the ASFA Laboratory 12 (Professor Poka Yio), reclaim the pier of Gate E8 at the port of Piraeus. In this land’s edge, whose only border is the sea, they wish to reposition corporeality at the core of site-specific research. Seeking ways, situations, and conditions in which the individual, as part of a larger whole and as a unit, relates to the arrival, departure from, and stay in intermediate places of temporary habitation – such as the port – they activate a perpetual movement: that of the multitude, whose function aims to overemphasize the importance of transience.

The internationally acclaimed choreographer Andonis Foniadakis transcends Maurice Ravel’s signature score into a fight for endurance and balance and so creates a dance that celebrates the power of life.

Through the use of sound, music and mapping, we will explore the present soundscape of Piraeus, producing for a future, through sharing experiences, poetry and music.
