The work ultimately unfolds into a reflection on Time as an intimate spectrum — from an inner, fluid, and non-binary temporality that belongs to the self, to an opposing outer time, structured and imposed by the rhythms of digital society. Using recordings of real social media browsing as his primary compositional material, Emmanouel Rovithis transforms the audible gesture of scrolling into a dramaturgical ground for physical elaboration.

Snippets of social media activity are triggered, looped, and processed in real time, generating dense soundscapes from fragments, a process reflecting the cognitive conditions of digital culture — a human meta-state shaped by hyper-information.

First introduced as Fragments of Ragada at Kappatos Rooms in Athens (February 2022), and later presented at Theatro Sti Sala (May 2022), the work reaches its full development with its premiere at the Venice Biennale in June 2026. Conceived as both culmination and origin, Ragada marks the closing gesture of Banushi’s trilogy on loss and rebirth.

 

Rooted in Balkan polyphonic vocal traditions, Emmanouel Rovithis applies his Embodied Sound Dramaturgy by weaving heavily processed recordings of the performers’ voices and bodily sounds with industrial textures and fragmented song material, shaping a sonic landscape of memory, loss, and hope.

The intense musicality also contributes to this harmonious mix (excellent musical composition and sound design by Emmanouel Rovithis) which "binds" with Aris Biniaris' directorial perspective and subsequently imbues the acting of his actors with rhythm in speech, breaths and their body."

"The intense music of Emmanouel Rovithis and the choreography of Evi Oikonomou move the stage in the steps of a Kafkaesque nightmare."
