DRYING RACK FOR DIRTY CLOTHES
Performed at Communitism (athens), 2019

A polyamorous Space Manifesto opened her heart and expressed her feelings about two boys she dated.
 

Space hang her clothes to dry, and confided the problems she faces with her two boys, but also what is missing from each of them. Through this spoken word, she shared her thoughts on the issue of polyamory and she spoke about her experiences and feelings bed to bed. 
 

In Greek, there is an expression: I show to others your laundry, which means: I dredge up your secrets. So, while Space spoke openly about her parallel relationships, she was dredging up the secrets of her boyfriends while, at the same time, she was hanging the clothes to dry on a drying rack, a daily task related to the housewife oppression.
 

Then, while Space continued hanging the clothes, she began lip syncing a Florence and the Machine song, Lover to Lover, a song about the experiences from "bed to bed" and from "lover to lover". This led to Space's nervous breakdown on stage through which she transformed from an alien housewife to an angry punk.


PS. A big thank you to Alex Tsoli for participating in this performance, volunteering to hold the microphone and also helping me resolve my love problems.
