HEAD- a Circus performance

Blackbox Deree- The American College of Greece, Gravias 6, Ag. Paraskevi 153 42, Athens, Greece

Part Circus memoir, part break-up letter to a 20 year co-dependent relationship with an audience. Circus is a metaphor for seduction and contract, a power and desire that at some point just stops doing the trick. Poetry, visual theatre and some rope stunts by a middle-aged artist trying to give up.
