At every BIG BANG festival, NOMAD presents a superb foreign artist who creates a show with a group of children. So BIG BANG Antwerp has invited the Greek singer Anna Linardou. She has sung in major opera houses and concert halls, but is in love with the music of her own country. For NOMAD she has delved deep into the archives of Domna Samiou, a Greek singer who collected marvellous gems of Greek folk music. Splendid songs with curious harmonies and rhythms that reflect the heartbeat of the Greek soul. Under the title NOSTOS, Anna Linardou will perform music from the land of όχι and ναί, Zeus and Achilles, the Acropolis and the Peloponnesos, Homer and Pythagoras, together with a group of youthful Antwerp musicians. It is also the land of stories about wandering heroes. NOSTOS will be a production that is as sunny as a Greek island, as valiant as a Greek hero and as well considered as the mnemonic of a Greek thinker.
