The older and younger generation lyre players; the scenes of everyday life; the feast; the yearly circle metered in the rhythm of the lyre as it is played across the Aegean archipelago; from Crete to Drama and from Thessaloniki to Dodecanese. The rhythm of life in Aegean; the images; the sound of lyre tied with the poem verses of Kostis Palamas and Friedrich Holderlin. Elements that are giving another dimension to folk music. The film is the swan-song of Giannis Lambrou that was made complete by his colleagues. More accurately it is a narration of a journey, a flashback in memory willing to enthuse the viewer without encyclopedic or other trivial information. While working with the production, of documentary series “Lyre players of the Aegean”, produced by ERT, Giannis Lambrou had started to collect material for his own documentary. A work left to be finished by his close associates and co-worker, Konstantinos Blathras. |
