Homemade performance
about the refrigerator door gasket
the plug and wire of the toaster
the cloth for the old vinyl records

"This is a performance -carefully worked out in its details- which unveils to the audience the essential behind the familiar, with underlying humor, irony and imperceptible subversiveness. All this is done in a "handmade", analogue manner, most appropriate for our times."
Evi Proussali – Athens Voice
"Nova Melancholia, with its particular and overwhelmingly creative visual language, sees Pontikas’ texts in a totally new spirit."
Natalia Damigou-Papoti – LEFT.GR
"Stillness – the moving / truthfully avant garde new performance of Nova Melancholia (inspired by Pontikas’ texts) was the only thing that really touched us lately. In an apartment on Notara Street, a home full of middleclass memories and stuffed with feeling."
