Athens Epidaurus Festival – Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center – Monom / 4DSound
The King of Grey and Silence
by Sofianna Theofanous
In a city where silence reigned and all colour had vanished, a fearless child rose to sing — their every step a spark of forgotten melodies. Dancing through shadows and riddles, they awakened hues long lost to the world. And deep within the palace of quiet, the King of Grey and Silence was about to meet the brilliance of hope.
Premiering during the Athens Epidaurus Festival, this newly commissioned work for children and adults invites the audience on a poetic journey through sonic light and shadow — a world where silence is not absence but a prelude to wonder. With spatial sound production by MONOM and text and dramaturgy by Sofianna Theofanous, the piece weaves storytelling and sound into a living, breathing landscape.
Set within the Dome of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) and presented by the Athens Epidaurus Festival and the SNFCC, the work unfolds as a multidimensional narrative experience. Harnessing the 4DSOUND instrument — a groundbreaking spatial sound system — MONOM transforms the architecture into a resonant field where sound shapes colour and carries the story across invisible planes.
