EKPHORA EUROPA — THE VIGIL

Before the procession may cross, the dead must be watched over.

On this night, three houses of mourners gather to keep vigil at the threshold — the last observance held on native soil before the cortège departs for foreign shores.

SCEPTOCRYPT open the rite, their sound refusing easy naming — an offering that will not sit still even in mourning.

THE RIVER follow, their slow currents carrying a grief that does not shout but simply continues, patient as water finding its level.

THE MEDEA PROJECT close the watch, their dark primal doom a hand extended toward the ferryman, threnodies written for those still owed passage.

No fanfare precedes a crossing. Only witness.

Come stand with us before the tide turns toward Europe.
