Lia Haraki / Yiannis Christofides

Performance

Vinegar Factory

Skull is a piece on proximity. It is a performance of soundscapes and embodiments  of characters taken from Cypriot society who experience distance in different ways. Familiarity with the death of contact seems comforting, in relation to its literal meaning. Through identification, caused by the fact that we are all coated skeletons that will one day be peeled off, the illusion of emotional connection is created.

Skull is a dive into the cranium of the soul.
