The performance it’s not about if you will love me tomorrow_Part 2 is conceived as a game in public view; a game raising questions on the relationship between dancing and viewing and on the balance of this paradoxical relationship that is fraught with tension.
A platform whose movement and inclination changes depending on where people stand and transfer their weight is divided among four performers. The performers test their limits within this new order of things, where the most reliable thing imaginable, the ground, is destabilized and is part of a fluid universe, of ever-changing space, rhythm, and mobility.
The game is built upon the concept of fair-cake cutting, a fair division problem on how to divide a heterogeneous good such as a cake, land or a territory or a frequency domain, so that everyone can receive the ‘piece’ that is the most preferable. That is, a division, not in equal parts, bur in parts which embrace and appeal to each participant’s individual values and preferences.
Will spectators be able to assist performers in their foray into this new land?A work at once intimate and public that maybe is a dance piece, maybe is not.”
It’s not about if you will love me tomorrow_Part 2 is the second part of a diptych whose first segment premiered in February at Art Factory. The artists received funding from the Hellenic Ministry of Culture (2019). Supported by the Koinos Topos Institute.
