A teenage college student. A little BEFORE s/he finishes class. A little BEFORE s/he goes out the college door. A little BEFORE s/he moves into further education. A little BEFORE life alone. BEFORE adulthood. BEFORE s/he becomes a citizen. A teenager BEFORE the city. This moment of suspension, this moment BEFORE the giant leap is what we’re trying to trace with this performance. This moment of worry, where a teenager prepares (themselves) for their great journey through life. The body may well be limited to a few square meters, but the mind is already crossing vast distances.
Personal texts written by the students as well as extracts from Greek literature articulate this labyrinthine journey, this impulsive teenage sprint within “a few square meters”: of their classroom, their neighborhood, their broader area, their lives up till now.
With the 2nd & 1st Nea Filadelfia Vocational Colleges
Training, dramaturgy & direction by: Aris Laskos & Anastasia Giannaki
The performance was held on 19-21.04.2019 at Onassis Stegi Upper Stage, as part of the Onassis Youth Festival 2019.
