Aspasia Nasopoulou

Een fantastische stad thumbnail

A collection of compositions that Aspasia Nasopoulou wrote between 2011 and 2021 is inspired by the book of Italo Calvino, The Invisible Cities. Marco Polo, the merchant and adventurer from Venice, tells Kublai Kan about his travels through the ruler’s empire. “It seems to me that you have never visited the cities you describe”, says Kublai Kan to the ever resourceful Marco Polo. “Everything I see and do gets its meaning from a void in the spirit where the same calmness resides as here in this garden”
