In the famous Hall 18, where the stolen Parthenon marbles are located, the Greek Hellena sang for their return<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Bring them back, as one piece…”<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

“Bring them back, as one piece, bring them back to Greece… “<\/em> is a part only of the lyrics that were heard in the British Museum<\/strong>, in the famous Hall 18<\/strong>, where the Parthenon Marbles<\/strong>are hosted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song-message<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

On June 20th<\/strong>, on the day of the anniversary of 10 years of Operation<\/strong> of Acropolis Museum<\/strong> of Athens, the Greek singer and composer Hellena chose to interpret a capella a symbolic song for the return of the Marbles<\/strong>, sending the message of reunification, in the context of a melodic protest held with the support of The British Committee for the Reunification of the Parthenon marbles<\/strong>. She recited a wonderful melodic song for the return of the Marbles, inside the British Museum!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a corner of the hall, surrounded by the compositions of the Marbles, she presented for the first time her new song titled \u00abThe Marbles of the Parthenon – Bring them back)\u00bb<\/strong>, a creation of her personal desire and responsibility, as she says, to participate consciously in the struggle of Return of the Sculptures<\/strong> to their place and to emerge as a single work of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artistic protest for sculptures<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The artistic protest<\/strong> lasted about an hour and the Greek singer repeated the song ten times<\/strong> -as much as the years of operation of the Acropolis Museum- without a microphone or musical instrument<\/strong>, except with the accompaniment of a recorded piano that sounded from her smartphone’s speaker (!) according to the restrict instructions of the British Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The protest took place in the famous Parthenon Sculpture Hall, with the museum’s permission.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He sang without live music.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

“The official justification for banning the use of a musical instrument, such as a guitar, was to not disturb the visitors and have complains”<\/em> Hellena said, talking to Athens News Agency.
Among the repetitions of her interpretations, she read texts with information about the history of the sculptures and how they have been removed illegaly from their physical space, from Lord Elgin.<\/strong>
“Would you split the Mona Lisa in two?”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
