Something the audience has to live through to be able to describe — and even then, they usually can't.
Experimovia began as a celebration of collaboration over competition — pianists from different countries, different backgrounds, different worlds, meeting in one room through music.
That still matters. But the version returning now goes further. It's not just a performance — it's a room built to do something to the people in it. Music, light, architecture, and silence, arranged so the audience experiences a real transformation rather than watching someone else's.
“A pianist once flew in from Quebec, at her own expense, to be part of a room for one night.”
A new production, built around a single city — and a question it has never fully answered about itself.
Built around a real tension this city has never fully settled. What happens in that room, once the details lock — that part's already decided.
A space that does not stay the same temperature — literally or otherwise — from the moment you sit down to the moment you leave.
The venue is still being decided. The feeling already isn't.
Thessaloniki, 2026 — venue to be announced
That's not a contradiction. That's the whole point.
The First Room is where the real build is happening — before the venue is confirmed, before the date is locked, before any of this is announced.
