Catharsis

Xavier Sabata und George Petrou | Armonia Atenea

A purification, an experience that brings pity and fear into their proper balance: "men are sometimes too much addicted to pity or fear, sometimes too little; tragedy brings them back to a virtuous and happy mean." This is how Aristotle describes Kátharsis in his concept of the Drama. 

Catharsis is the climax of the tragedy, of the drama, Catharsis is therapeutic.

This project is a collection of these moments and a tribute to tragedy as a classic form of theatre.

This project is all about love and respect for Theatre.

Baroque composers together with poets speculated constantly about this subject and their will of recovering the classic drama produced the most amazing compositions of the history of the music.
