Cayetano & Band - Night Without Stars
|
Slaughterhouses. Thessaloniki. West. Former industrial space. Rooftop. Cayetano, Alex P. and Georges Perin. Night Without Stars. First bandrop session. A sparse mix of nightclubs, concert venues, brothels, a Gypsy camp and a luxury hotel has taken the place of the municipal slaughterhouse that used to operate nearby for more than 80 years, giving its name to the area. Waiting for the sun to set, we wonder about the unrealized uses of the abandoned, half-constructed buildings around; we gaze at the sea, beyond the Port’s cranes, and towards the city that stretches beyond this no man’s land. The wooden drawer from an old desk turns into percussion – new life ahead. Just as the entire area awaits for a new future. The light is finally right and Cayetano, Alex and Georges start playing; they pause and laugh, tease each other for the minor mistakes, play again, laugh a bit more. All takes are perfect for us.
