about the project...
4 People. 4 Funerals. 4 Suicides. 4 Dead.
Died at the same time, in a different place, for the same reason?
They met in the waiting room waiting their turn to enter the other world. Even there, humans are terrible! Even in the other world you have to Question everything, go Wild like an animal, manically seek your Desire, Expect something, anything.
Terrible, boring.
A multidisciplinary performance that combines speech, movement and contemporary music. Based on humour, full of intense emotional swings, the performance explores human instincts as they manifest in another dimension.
The play was presented in February 2016 at the Television Control Centre.
reviews
'M. Mavrogeni demonstrates with simplicity and spontaneity how the body can tell many diametrically opposed stories through music and convincingly analyses how much we get caught up in our minds, our thoughts and the scenarios we weave around human relationships, so much so that without even engaging in a conversation, we have come up with its summary'.
