Unofficial
19th to 21st January 2022,
"Unofficial" performance is the latest trilogy I started in 2017, a relatively small, solo storytelling that began by putting my surrounding material together. The process of making the story has never been such that I first write the story and then, to visualize it, begin looking for its visual equivalent.
Before beginning, I always go to a friend (child) at first, a three-year-old, and now a seven-year-old, and ask him to donate some of the old toys of his choice. Then I begin storytelling for adults according to these objects - toys.
In the "unofficial" performance, I also put photos I had selected and scanned a few years ago from several family albums. But this time, I wanted the viewer to be left alone with the story and these objects, to touch and create them. So I decided to narrate it through a game. Some instructions help build and advance the story.
