“Tisento”: An Immersive Acoustic Performance in Dialogue with Maria Filippakopoulou’s Exhibition at Kourd Gallery

1 min read

As Maria Filippakopoulou’s solo exhibition Radiant Landscape of Colour, curated by Eleni Varopoulou, continues at Kourd Gallery until 4 July 2026, the gallery presents a special one-night performance that extends the exhibition beyond the visual experience.

On Wednesday, 1 July, at 21:00, actress, director, and performer Georgia Tsagkaraki, together with composer Stefanos Giakoumakis, will present Tisento, an immersive acoustic performance created in direct dialogue with Filippakopoulou’s paintings.

Rather than interpreting the artworks, Tisento listens to their inner resonance. Through a carefully composed landscape of voice and sound, Tsagkaraki responds to the emotional pulse of the paintings, opening a poetic conversation with the artist’s visual universe.

Designed as a fully immersive listening experience, the performance combines spoken word, original sound compositions, excerpts from the poetry of T. S. Eliot, texts written by the performer herself, and an Italian song from the 1980s. Together they form what the creators describe as a guided meditation, inviting audiences on a sensory journey where memory, language, music, and image converge.

A Summer Programme of Art and Encounters

Kourd Gallery continues its summer programme with exhibitions, performances, and public conversations in both Athens and Hydra.

In Hydra, the exhibition You Won’t Forget Her! by Japanese artist Kimiko Yoshida, organised by Fondation Valmont, remains on view at the Historical Archive – Museum of Hydra until 26 July. On 31 July, the museum will also present Of Ether and Sea, a solo exhibition by sculptor Venia Dimitrakopoulou, curated by Eleni Varopoulou.

Meanwhile, in Athens, the gallery’s popular Tuesdays at Kourd! programme continues every Tuesday from 18:00 to 23:00, welcoming visitors for informal conversations around the gallery’s current exhibitions and creating an ongoing space for artistic exchange.
