NARCISSUS: PLAY FOR MUSIC + SCENT,

a musical drama by composer Calliope Tsoupaki for scent and 6 musicians. Music and scent are blended as a whole, influencing each other during the creative process and during the concert.

The Greek/Dutch composer Calliope Tsoupaki wrote illusionary music that seduces our senses, ears, eyes and even our nose. For November Music, Tsoupaki composed a new piece specially written for the top ensemble for new and innovative music: Nieuw Amsterdam Peil.

The composer developed a scent experience together with Tanja Deurloo from Annindriya. “The scent influences my composition and my composition influences the scent” says Tsoupaki.

The internationally renowned interior designer and landscape architect, Petra Blaisse from Inside Outside, developed the spatial design. Through sound, scent and environment you experience what the young and handsome adolescent Narcissus, who fell in love with himself in Greek mythology, goes through.

Narcissus will be performed at Zeewolde during Festival Via Musica.
