A clearer contrast than "yes" or "no" are not conceivable. A spoken or written „yes“ can open doors and spaces - in political, social, and private fields. In contrast, a „no“ can close realms and set up borders. And vice versa. Yellow Brick presents the events in the public sphere with the Swiss artist Olivia Wiederkehr in the process of STEP 27 yes!yes!yes!no!no!. This Thursday the performance with the two dancers will start at Yellow Brick and extend as a walk-in Nea Ionia and a Sunday afternoon picnic at the Alsos of Nea Filadelfia.

What does the multiplication of these words mean in the title for this project, what statement is hidden behind the changed rhythm of speech? A title that thus signals the need for commitment and positional reference. To rethink these conditions in a context of current political and global incidents, in a world which controls more and more our very inner private circles and lives.

As this performance is the second part of a series of works concerning the topic of personal freedom of action, the artist set up for this part a personal statement of freedom, what is going to be celebrated on costumes, which she specially created for this event. Two dancers will wear this statement and unveil it during the performative promenade through the public area of Neo Ionia. Philosophically speaking, the costumes refer to the smallest space, the so-called shell or substrate, which brings together the thoughts of the artist in her work on the subject of freedom of action and puts them together in a very simplified language.

Dancers: Gitsa Konstantoudaki, Leda Dallas
