Entrance: 10e
Electro Poetry is a Saturday night event presenting live spoken word, theatrical performances and visual arts, followed by organic house and melodic ethnic dance music in the amazing DOME, in the beautiful CRISTALAND Eco Community.
Words, theatre, music, visuals, and dance unfold through their own mediums—yet with poetry still resonating in the listener’s mind, these artistic forms overlap in an unforced and natural way.
SPOKEN WORD LIVE CONCERT:
Angelina Farmer (UK) presenting her amazing new LP "Hell Upon Earth" to be released next month worldwide by The Institute for Experimental Arts Records. Through her work, Angelina has become a staunch advocate for the transformative power of the arts, particularly in amplifying marginalized voices through electronic atmospheres and dynamic spoken word- theatrical live performances. Her poetry serves as a deeply personal means of catharsis, reflecting her inner world and the emotional landscapes that shape her life.
Sissy Doutsiou (GR) through her English spoken word live concerts, brings both scientific precision and artistic vision to her work including tribal masks and visual art at her astonishing performances. Her notable appearances include lectures, performances, video art exhibitions, and poetry readings across Europe, USA, Mexico, India, and Nepal- Sissy Doutsiou will collaborate on stage with Momospoke is a German-Moroccan artist.
Momospoke has made her home in Barão de São João, Lagos. She has been practicing the ancient art of handpoke tattooing, a journey that began unexpectedly in Chile. Beyond tattooing, Momospoke is a creative performer who handcrafts masks and costumes, bringing her imaginative creatures to life through performance art. Her artistic expression extends seamlessly between the permanent art she creates on skin and the transformative characters she embodies through her handmade masks and theatrical costumes.
Tasos Sagris (GR), a distinguished poet, theater director, and activiste regularly tours Europe, Asia, Mexico, and the USA, presenting multimedia poetry actions, exhibitions, performances, and theatrical productions. Performing in English, his poetry presents a melancholic invitation to revolt, hedonism, and social awareness. His collaborations with electronic music producer Whodoes and his award-winning video poems have established his performances as emancipatory experiences.
