Andreas Pashias sets up video-performances or live-performances as a visual artist and a performer himself and directs theatrical happenings that appear to connect or even disrupt diverse points of reference concerning the boundaries of fine art and experimental theatrical practices.
In setting up his performances, choreographies have been employed upon a basis of rhythmical devices that reference an amalgamated framework of complexities within national traditions.
A series of touristic stereotypes and social presuppositions arises in order to emphasize the performer’s obligation to actually perform and supposedly represent an emblematic framework of nationhood.
Current Project:
“Παρασπονδή / Parasponde” - A live performance piece by Andreas Pashias – With the participation of Melina Philippou
6th – 8th of April, 20:30, Kinitiras Studio (Artistic Residency Centre) – Athens
In this performance, video projection and live action come together in order to reveal the eroticized vulnerability of a body, attempting to call upon an absent entity. Through the ritualistic spillage of libations, the liquid flow of these offerings parallels the outpouring of the embodied call, whilst seeking reference to the emotional catharsis that accompanies popular mainstream songs.
