Music and Trance: The case of Anastenaria
Summary:
Anastenaria. We have all heard of them. It is a word that does not sound like something completely strange. But what is actually Anastenaria?
If someone wonders, he will find that he does not know much about them at all. It may sound’s known, we realize that it is something completely unknown. And in my own eyes, that unknown imagines charming. Fear, curiosity, "myths," and even the misunderstandings contained in the unknown, cause intense interest, scientific effervescence and a strange attraction that can lead to an experience greater than the curiosity that was born. The image of the people - the famous Anastenarides - dancing a peculiar dance, with a strange energy and stumbling on burning coals with bare feet without any sign of burning or any sign of pain, seems capable of doing so. The phenomenon is completely unexplained. Extractive and almost metaphysical. What's really going on? What leads these people to have such habits in such a closed society?
Questions able to synthesize a new personal scientific desire: to approach the Anastenaria in the light of science of Anthropology of Music.
A detailed description of the custom in May in Agia Eleni of Serres, concepts and practices that relate to and contribute to Anastenaria in the light of the anthropological approaches, the theoretical and historical approach of the Anastenaria, a journey with the Anastenarides and of course the musical reality of the custom. The songs, the instruments, the melodies, the rhythm, the dance, the movements, the concepts, but especially the emotional mantle that surrounds them, are the protagonists of the custom i watched.
