Behind these Walls, I Know there is a Sea – with Athanasia Kanellopoulou – Greece 2017

The piece explores issues of gender and the individual self, the representation of oppressed bodies in relation to its surroundings, female subjectivity, individuality, the resistance that exists when the bodies are in danger and the desire to escape from an abandoned, dark place in order to move towards the salvation of the light. The underlying vulnerability is emphasized by the intimate yet powerful body language of eight women on stage. How easy is it to break through the walls that surround us? How easy is it to move forward and to be free?
