Borderline Festival 10

In a time when the arts have been forced to inhabit just two dimensions and a particularly narrow acoustic spectrum, Borderline is here to bring music back in its totality, and to remind us that sound can address all our senses – minds and bodies too.

This international festival – that has steadily drawn attention to multifaced readings of the space between transmitter and receiver, artist and spectator/listener – is inviting audiences to celebrate its tenth anniversary with a series of live concerts and audiovisual happenings and events. Lying at the festival’s heart is the need to physically meet again, and to redefine an interactive and participatory creative space that is held in common.

From the symmetry of dance to the chance nature of improvisation, and from tonal songs to the noise and environmental sounds of electroacoustic music, Borderline is questioning borders and boundaries for a tenth year running, exploring new themes, practices, and artistic directions.

Three new digital works are also being presented via Onassis Channel on YouTube, works that highlight the urgency of environmental issues, find new points of intersection between music and land art, and envision a non-heteropatriarchal world of self-identification, emancipation, and mutual care.
