The "tamata" are promises or offerings made by believers in a religious tradition, often in cases where they wish to thank a deity or seek help for a specific request. In Greek tradition, they are often associated with the Orthodox Christian faith. Typically, believers take on vows when their wishes have been fulfilled or when they want to express their gratitude for a positive development in their lives.
Below is the recorded text that was heard during the performance. At certain points, the local dialect of Christina's birthplace, Ioannina, is used. As a cover here, you see a detail from the wedding dress designed and sewn especially for the performance by Leonidas Giannopoulos, as a generous sponsorship. Decorative details made of silver candies are also visible here on this part of the dress.
