Vis Musicae. Video example by Maria Hnaraki, Mancuso-Calabria, 24 July2009. Antonis Fragakis (lyra/vocals), Manolis Skoumbakis (laouto) and Manolis Lagoudakis (lyra/vocals) at an open-air amphitheatric space amidst a forest. One of the music pieces consisted of lyrics purely composed “on the spot” which focused on our impressions of the mountainous, woodlands area. Toward the end of their “duet”, Antonis and Manolis clarified why their attire was not so proper (they were dressed in t-shirts and shorts, as the artistic director had remarked). The reason for this was that their luggage had not made it to Italy from Greece, something that caused loud laughter amongst the audience due to the simultaneously underlining of the spontaneity of the performance.
