The distinguished Dutch director and visual artists Dries Verhoeven stages a peripatetic performance of political act in the streets of Athens. Performances start today (May 2nd) and will last until May 11th.
Starting point of the performance No Man’s Land is the Metro station at Monastiraki.
The performance takes place at an open-air location. The audience is advised to wear comfortable clothes and shoes, as they will walk for about 40 minutes!
Twenty viewers and twenty economic immigrants, political refugees, come together in a downtown Athens station. There, equipped with iPods to provide audio information, each ‘watcher’ listens to the biography of one of the immigrants, who could be their guide through the streets of their home city. The pairs of viewers and guides become neighbors of a unique kind as the latter show the former a side of Athens they may never have seen before.
Following on from performances in the Netherlands, Germany and Spain, No Man’s Land has been specially adapted for performance in Athens where, according to its creator, “conditions are urgent enough to demand a moving, poetic and meaningful response to the question: “What can a multicultural environment mean?”
