Love is a trickster. Love is mercenary. Love is invincible. Love is divine passion. Love is joy, transaction, necessity, destruction; but above all, it is the great generative force. The reproductive instinct that conquers death through arithmetic.
«so that love may always be and the world may multiply
and death may not be able to diminish people;»
In the performance «Tzortzis: so that love may always be…», three women synchronize to the rhythm of Katsourmbos, Panoria, and Erofili by Georgios Chortatsis. Three female bodies surrender to the heartbeat of the poet’s heroines.
The official premiere of the performance will take place on September 11, 2026, at the Hellenic Institute of Byzantine and Post-Byzantine Studies in Venice, as part of the International Scientific Conference «Poetry and Dramaturgy in Late Renaissance Crete: Tzortzis Chortatsis and his Work».
