Abstract

A site-specific videotaped performance dedicated to the act of displacement: With a few to almost no personal items and parents displaced from Pontus, he was born in Garefi, moved to Aridaia and then was forced to move alone in many different “playgrounds”, with his final destination to be Athens. He had nothing but valuable memories.

From the island of Chios to Constantinople, with the goal of creating a beautiful life, they were forced to flee to Athens together forever and pack their lives in a suitcase. How can you create a new life from scratch after you have been displaced?

The sea can bring us together and part us away, at the same time. Three displaced people taught me to love the sea no matter what, and not be afraid of it. I grew up with them storytelling their lives to me, and it is my turn to tell their story…
