Yutopiia 

Performance, The Medaw of the Ephemeral, Livadi, Thessaloniki, 2017  

Utopia is a performance that took place at a 4-day-Residency called The Meadow of the Ephemeral at Thessaloniki, Greece

For half an hour.  ace of wilderness I cut the plants and dig a hole in the ground big enough to almost fit me.  Naked, I layed inside like an embryo for half an hour. With eyes closed I was listening the sounds of the environment, connecting with nature. 

The next day, I made the same performance in front of an audience, Laying inside in front of the people I felt exposed. I started covering myself with soil and that brought me calmness. I had to get inside of the ground as much as I could. The people came to help me. 

After some time, I felt like I was inside earth's hug. I could stay there. 
When I finally came out, I felt reborn.
