Description

The.Yard.Residency.15 closes with the video installation- performance me@t. It is a visual comment, where image and sound will carry the memory and life of four immigrants that live and work in Cyprus. Within this framework the “behaviors” of Cypriot society will be transferred, through the reactions and the speech of a child, which participates live and reflects at the audience the contemporary image of the Other.

The performance negotiates subjects as: Place, Displacement, Memory. According to Martin Heidegger, the human Being is part of the place; it’s been defined from it and revolts through it. In the same time the human as mortal, is always on a search of his Being, of his essence and therefore of his home-place-country. Having this theory as a reference, what happens with the displacement of a human? How can he adjust in his new environment and what does this mean for his Being. Which one is the country and how external factors and relationships with the locals can help or not in his personal growth.
