Le voyage dans la lune

Κάποιες βραδιές είναι απλά διαφορετικές. 
Είναι νύχτες ή μέρες που δεν μοιάζουν με τις άλλες. Και είναι κάποια μέρη, ανθρώποι, καταστάσεις τόσο αλλιώτικα που μοιάζουν σαν να ανήκουν αλλού. Βρίσκονται όμως εδώ και έχουν να αφήσουν το δικό τους στίγμα, να δώσουν ένα τόνο ομορφιάς και ποιότητας, να μας θυμίσουν κάτι από φεγγάρι.

A night dedicated to George Méliès. A French filmmaker who used Augmented Reality to craft the world’s first science fiction movie, “A Trip to the Moon”. Guided by his creative instincts and artistic passion he produced surreal settings of illusory, dreamed-up, realities. He was the first man to realize that films could capture dreams and has since taken the cinematic imagination on a fantastic new voyage.

Essoterika is taking this voyage with you as we depart for “A Trip to the Moon” with sounds of contemplative spaciousness that evoke a continuum of spatial imagery and emotion. A night of deep listening, an awareness of the spatiality of sound phenomeno. A psychonautic listening of multiple genres that produce a subtle trance-like state which can in turn lead to sensations of flying, floating, cruising, gliding, or hovering and expansive moods.

Gently gliding through space you start to comprehend the enormity which surrounds you.  No boundaries exist.  Only those which are physically impossible to bypass and those which are set by yourself.

You start to imagine what is waiting for you upon your arrival.  Will it be awe-inspiring, will it be mind expanding, or will it simply be a disappointment.  The destination has been reached and your expectations are not comparable to the spectacle you are experiencing.  Words, thoughts, images, cannot express the sights you are seeing.  Your everyday existence suddenly ceases to exist and you are open to the full possibilities which unravel themselves in front of you.  Nothing seems unreachable, your only enemy is time...  As you peer at the world you forget that it is a place in which you exist physically.  It is now a place which you only exist mentally, in the consciousness of those who have experienced you.

The earth and the space, in which it exists, seem to be in unison, both supporting and existing in conjuction with each other.  You then focus on the earth and capture its beauty, as it floats in the seemingly endless darkness.  You marvel at its colours as it shines through the darkness, illuminating the space surrounding it.  You see a planet which radiates so much light and energy, and you then understand how this planet gives life to all living creatures upon it.  You then think about all the problems which exist within it, all the pain, all the suffering and all the misery, and you understand that it is the human mind and the 'boundaries' imprisoning individuals which are the root of the problem.

Suddenly you take off and begin your descent to the earth.  You start thinking of the boundaries which will limit your own possibilities and you find yourself back on earth, limited physically by your earthly surroundings, but you now have the knowledge of the possibilities which exist but can only be experienced on your next   'trip to the moon'.

Eιναι στιγμές, ήχοι, εικόνες, καταστάσεις που μας κάνουν να αναρωτιόμαστε, να αμφισβητούμε την ύπαρξη μας, τον κόσμο ολόκληρο, τι υπάρχει και τι δεν υπάρχει 

 Αυτή την παρασκευή η Εσσωτέρικα μας πάει πίσω στο 1902 για να συνειδητοποιήσουμε για άλλη μια φορά πως η φαντασία κάνει θαύματα, χαράζει πορείες και καθορίζει ζωές... Μα η φαντασία θέλει θάρρος και τόλμη, για να την ακολουθήσεις θέλει δύναμη και πάθος.

Μιλάμε για εποχή που η επιστημονική φαντασία δεν ήταν καθημερινότητα αλλά καινοτομία.. τόσο πίσω! Μα τόσο κοντά που στις ανάγκες, στα θέλω και στους φόβους μας δεν άλλαξε τίποτα. Ακόμα κι αν το ταξίδι στο φεγγάρι δεν είναι επιστημονική φαντασία μα πραγματικότητα εδώ και μισό αιώνα. Aκόμα κι αν από το ταξίδι στο φεγγάρι έχουμε πάει χιλια δυο σταδία μπροστά.
