Project summary

Verdant Festival (GR) invites 'cosmic opera' duo Exotica Lunatica for a residency at Vertiskos village. The artists will research local myths and traditions to create a new, site-specific ritual of ecstatic sound and dance. This 'Discovery' residency, supported by partners Toyful Music Festival (CY) and Beglika Festival (BG), aims to connect the artists with the local environment and community. The process will culminate in a work-in-progress performance, fostering a new network between the artistic scenes of Greece, Cyprus, and Bulgaria and preparing the work for future international touring.

Exotica Lunatica: Daphné Hejebri & Eleanna Konstanta

Biography: Exotica Lunatica is a Franco-Greek duo born from the fateful encounter of Eleanna Konstanta, singer, guitarist, and performer, and Daphné Hejebri, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and performer. Their music fuses ethnic sounds and rich polyphony, blending classical and contemporary influences into mystical soundscapes. Since their debut album Enter The Moon (June 2023), they’ve performed across France, Switzerland, and Italy. Awarded the jury’s favorite in the Music&lles initiative by Sturm Production, they opened for Orange Blossom in 2024. In 2025, they’re pre-selected for Les Inouïs du Printemps de Bourges and set to open for Flèche Love at the Opéra National du Rhin.
