Tempe, Larissa 28/02/2023. Two years later, justice is still being sought for the deaths of 57(+) people. Crime? Laundering? Accident?

The group “57+”, consisting of students of the Department of Audio and Visual Arts in Corfu, presents a walking project called “Unburied Souls” approaching the crime in Tempe, with the aim of addressing the burning issue socially. Through this walking performance, the group invites people on the island to reflect, mourn and define their own conclusions and feelings around 57(+) unexplained deaths that have plunged the country into anger, pain and oppression of the right to life for two years.

This tragedy in Tempe was caused by the fatal collision of a commercial train with a passenger train, forever stigmatizing the relatives of the victims, the survivors, the injured and an entire country. An event that shocks the world and divides for the cover-up/masking of human lives in the name of profit. The search for the truth leads to massive domestic mobilizations and unites people, who, alongside the relatives of the victims, all chant "I have no oxygen". With this slogan, they demand justice from a state that is averse to even the slightest assumption of responsibility for this deadly issue, which constitutes an "organized mystery".

To kiss you necropsy, my eyes
To wish you a good journey
Rose of a wild harvest
Thirsty for blood.

I ran to your locks
to find your secrets,
whose whispers in your ear
took you away from me.

The country is a courtyard
in which you die,
her throne is haunted by
withering flowers.

Your body was left uncovered
in the ashes,
the dove was lost
along with your soul.

In the reeds of the river
I speak of you
and I wear you around my neck
on a wooden cross.
