walking the line

picture documentation

The performance walking the line is an attempt to look at a moment in a Cypriot woman's life. It is a time when she is experiencing the many lines and borderlines closing in on her tightly.

The Green Line remains visible and it is felt throughout all her experiences.

In the process towards liberation and understanding the performance takes on the form of a journey. It brings to mind "Io in the presence of Prometheus" bitten by the gadfly. She is seen treading along her wound restlessly, in pain and agony, desperate for a way out.
