ECLIPSE
A performance installation by Angeliki Papoulia and Christos Passalis at the Sfendoni Theater
Eclipse is a diary of what humanity has been through in the last 2 years. It is a spectacle that invites viewers to reflect on everything they have heard and seen on their screens in the last 2 years. It is an attempt to assess – mainly on a psychological level – the terror and guilt that have been imposed on the human species in the past period.
Isolated in a clinic room, enclosed in a plastic box that blurs the contours of bodies and makes people's movement vague and almost intangible, three nurses watch television as they go about their daily duties. It's the night shift and the night is quiet tonight. Yet they seem as if they've been there forever and ever.
Television is constantly broadcasting information, news, music, game shows, reality shows, commercials. Nurses are magnetized by the screen and its unbridled chatter. Bodies bend under the weight of terror or the weight of nonsense that is being unleashed at a blistering pace. They continue their mechanical movements, as a last attempt to remain functional or at least healthy.
But the terror continues, the eclipse persists and the night lasts.
