I Want to Know What You Talk About When You Sleep

Description
The performance directed by Dimitra Dermitzaki, focuses on the dreams of people who have experienced or are experiencing war conditions. Her dramaturgy develops as a synthesis of such dreams: the starting point is Emil Szittya’s short stories, “27 Dreams During the War 1939–1945.” They are interwoven with dream testimonies that emerged from contemporary conversations with people who have recently experienced the war, as well as dreams recorded by writers after World War II. Three performers move through successive, sculptural poses and traverse a path through the archaeological site of Heraion Perachora, narrating fragments of wounded dreams. Each dream is abandoned as a votive offering in a ritual procession towards the sanctuary of Hera Akrea. Ira Spagadorou’s exhibition consists of paper narratives, incomplete, elliptical in their genesis, like dreams, which struggle to reveal a solid image, a complete map of man.
