Persephone’s Fall is the outcome of a practice-based study, that researches the contemporary form of mythical narration, as shaped by the digital tools available to modern day’s creators narrators. The scenic space of this audiovisual dance performance is intangible, as it’s being realized and visualized solely through the art of Projection Mapping. This digital tool instigates the interaction between space, body and light in order to successfully convey the Jungian archetypal Mother-Daughter dipole and the never-ending cycle of Life, Death and Rebirth as signified in the Homeric Hymn “To Demeter”. “Persephone’s Fall” thus functions, as a digital reflection of the primitive rituals of the Eleusinian Mysteries, always keeping in focus the myth of Persephone, all the while placing KORE herself at the center of the narration.
