Slab Altar
A residency at Het Muziek, GRASpunt, Amsterdam.
During this residency, Thanasis Deligiannis set out to create a shared space of attention, where simple materials, bodies, sound, and light could gradually be transformed. He was interested in spaces where actions condense or slow down, where care and force coexist, and where meaning emerges through proximity and counterpoint. Working together with the residency team, they set conditions for careful observation across three phases: construction, demolition, and aftermath. Slab Altar reflects an ongoing interest in creating situations where presence is heightened and roles remain fluid, inviting the audience to sense and interpret an uncanny reality shaped by a rural-urban hybrid.
