Title

Present In The Absent Mind

Creator

Elmughrabi, Amir (concept, direction)

Megas, Odysseas (performer)

Abstract

The concepts of absence can be found in the very fabric of theatre, performance, and visual art in the crossroads between these genres. Absence is between the concepts that shape our view of the world. Exploring Presence in Absence”, was to take a deeper dive in the concept of being present in an absent state of mind. The ideology of “zoning out” intrigued me, it always was a universal phenomenon. No matter where you are from you have access to that space in your mind, yet that space gets shaped and inspired by time, culture, and personality. In this performance I tried to showcase the space that was moulded in my mind.
