“Timeless” at Melidoni Cave

Σπήλαιο Μελιδονίου – Γεροντόσπηλιος
Within the unique atmosphere of Gerontospilios, “Timeless”, a musical and narrative performance by Antonis Leontidis, was presented.

A young woman, known as the “Maiden”, falls through the mouth of a clay vessel into the depths of the cave. There, she encounters a world beyond the familiar boundaries of time. Through music, narration and the cave’s distinctive natural setting, she discovers more about herself and the meaning of time.
