Performance
Institute Of Education, London, May 2010
This performance is about the uncertainty that human beings experience when they feel trapped in a world of possibilities. Even though this may sound contradictory, restriction and imprisonment doesn’t come only from Institutions or from an external character but from an inner part of us.
By confronting fear and through education we can achieve freedom, that enable us to understand difference and things that are unknown to us; which in most cases are elements that trigger intolerant behaviour. Intolerance in most cases comes from a lack of knowledge. To learn about things makes us understand them, consequently we feel less threatened by them.
With this performance piece I want to portray how some of the most tremendous sensations of entrapment can come from our own mind and body. It is up to us and up to our society to stop hiding and neglecting common mental disorders. By accepting them we can help people who suffer them and build a better way of living. Statics show that six out of ten people suffer some kind of mental disorder, and that depression has become the most common disease of our time.
