Ta Demosia - Series of public performances
"Ta Demosia" were proposed by epitelesis - Performance Art Foundation as a series of live performances in public spaces, in collaboration with the project "Gradient: From Gray to Color Scale" based on the theme of public intervention, at Tzami Kaloutsianis in Ioannina - Greece on the 7th of July 2014, within a duration of three hours. Referring to the Greek word "δήμος" (public), the presented performances concentrated upon the 'status' of a body located within an ensemble or a common place, exploring relationships in terms of identification, of acceptance or even repulsion, of rejection, as observed in the relation of a unit to its social surroundings.
