The instruments used—traditional, authentic and improvised—are divided into categories (bass, treble, solo instruments, etc.). Each participant has before them an instrument belonging to one of these categories. After rhythmic communication and improvisation exercises, we are guided into learning specific motifs and creating an orchestra.

An armor for Alex

With references to the exhibition, children become acquainted with the work and personality of artist Alex Mylona. In front of a rather virtual or distorting mirror, they wonder, “How is my portrait feeling today? From what does it want to protect itself?”
They then construct a personalized wearable “armor” made of flat circles, semicircles, and basic geometric developments. Might it be that they do need their armor?
Fearless horsemen ride naked, proceeding heroically; they follow their vision to find their own truth.*
*lyrics by Alex Mylona
