Panos Charalambous presents his new performance, ‘RAST LUNA SOL’, in Giswil, Switzerland, as part of the Translocal Performance Art Festival 2026 (September 13-14, 2026), a performance art festival held since 1998.
This year’s Translocal Festival theme is the moon, specifically its dual name in Greek: ‘selene’ refers to the moon as a visible celestial body, while ‘fengari’ describes its glow as a surface that reflects the sun’s light. Entitled ‘From Moon to Moon’, the 25th edition of Translocal Performance Art focuses on what unfolds between the body and projection in performance, as well as on what may remain hidden from the naked eye.
The performance ‘RAST LUNA SOL’ forms part of Panos Charalambous’s ongoing research into communities and expressions of folk culture in the Balkan and Mediterranean regions, with an emphasis on ritual and celebratory practices such as food, singing, dancing and funeral rites.
