The Lesser Eleusian Mysteries | Temple of Demeter & Kore, Spring Equinox 2023

Dance and music performances of Ancient Greek songs, dance, and stories focused on lamentation and catharsis for the cycle of life and time.

“ELEUSIS, GREECE – Ancient Greek lyres, handheld Cretan lyras, drums, and a clarinet player sit in a line on the steps to the Temple of Demeter. Seven women flank the musicians on both sides, dressed all in black, draped in long shawls and floor-length dresses that billow ethereally in the wind as four more wait behind, in traditional dress from Epirus. The Temple’s columns, broken but beautiful, and the cave of Persephone serve as the backdrop for performances of lamentation: dancers and singers merge to tell stories of mortality.” Read my full article covering the event at https://wildhunt.org/2023/03/the-eleusinian-mysteries.html?fbclid=PAAaYqaOnPL9F_RiLOHxv_H6TvQorbZmT0N6Ht1ldg8HwoC32G6I3FSwOG4is
