Annabelle

Annabelle is a site-specific performance that took place in the giant burnt rooms of the Psiloritis Refrigerators. The performance was inspired by a Zoroastrian funeral rite performed by our friend Nikos Branidis for his cat, Annabelle. Zoroastrians used to leave their deceased loved ones in the highest points of the city, singing hymns that call the vultures to feed on our deceased loved ones. In the performance, we utilized the natural acoustic properties of the space to invite the birds or to transform ourselves into them. The performance was accompanied by texts from Soren Kierkegaard and Giorgos Efthimiou.

    Languida The audience is invited into a hypnagogic sci-lab, where the elegance of discarded materials is staged. They perform as embryonic creatures. I encountered the performative nature of matter in found objects, seeking to question the anthropocentric gaze of fruition. Collective dreams are released in an intimate space where the spectator’s usually peremptory gaze reformulates,…

    Super Sport 3 happened at Ψυγεία Ο Ψηλορείτης on 16 NOV 2024. A once-functioning company, wedged along the northern artery into the capital—right where Metamorfosi meets Nea Filadelfia. They specialized in refrigerated storage. Cold vaults meant to preserve product. What’s left now? Debt and ash.
