Composer and transmedia artist of the young generation Filippos Sakagian’s eclectic work encompasses a whole spectrum of various forms of expression: from audio and light installations, through a rich catalogue of works using electronics, to immersive performances. The artist intertwines sound, light, space and body, creating contaminations permeated with the multidimensionality of human existence. During the performance KTVC [hypnos], together with Dafin Antoniadou and Amélie Nilles, he will create a very special, collective experience of hypnosis.

'KTVC [hypnos]' forces participants to dive into a confined, subconscious liminal space — a chamber suspended from reality — where sound, light, and motion oscillate. ‘hypnos’ unfolds as an intense hypnotic ritual designed to access the subconscious cave, taking place directly among the audience, leaving them faced with choices — or the option to relinquish them entirely.

It seeks to dissolve the boundaries between reality and the hidden places of the mind, invading the audience’s psychological architecture and pushing the experiential format further. Fracturing the present, 'hypnos' creates a transient encounter where the observer and the observed collapse into one, singular hallucination.

Part of the KTVC project by composer and transmedia artist Filippos Sakagian, under the stage name ‘necrotrance’, ‘hypnos’ is presented in collaboration with choreographer and performer Dafin Antoniadou. This collective hypnosis experience dialogues with Sakagian’s forthcoming album ‘KTVC’ (2025) and its homonym live multichannel audio-visual performance ‘KTVC [liturgy]’.
