White Cloaks (2021) is an original song composed by Theodore Koumartzis on a LUTHIEROS ancient lyre with nine strings.
The melody takes its name from the french word plâtre, meaning white or plaster, from a Frankish order of monks living in Cyprus during the medieval times. They used to wear pure white cloaks and therefore were named "Plâtres."
The monastery was located just above a mountainous village, which also was named "Platres." It soon became a destination for many notable figures, including King Farouk of Egypt and Nobel-prize Greek poet Giorgos Seferis. This is why modern Platres is also called "The Village of Kings and Poets."
Cypriot author Andreas Andreou hosted our SEIKILO video sessions in an old house located in this very village.
