THE CHAMBER

A performance based on Giorgos Cheimonas' texts, duration 50', commissioned by the Filippoi Festival 2010 (honoring G. Cheimonas).

A palimpsest is manifactured throught the words and the silences of Giorgos Cheimonas' texts. This palimpsest is animated by the writer's basic thematic axes, such as pageantry, the limits of the humane, the end of the world. The characters in the performance are located inside a chamber they can never escape from. The writer's words are the only means of resistance and their sole means of survival.
