From A to Z
Performance

Curated by Nina Numminen
LapSody Festival. Theatre Academy of the University of the Arts
Helsinki (Finland)
May 27, 2013

This project has been specially conceived for the LAPsody festival, whose central theme revolved around the concept of borders. Building on this premise, our performance used the text of the Treaty of the European Union as the central element of its discourse. Our aim was to provoke a critical reflection on the institutional and empty language present in the treaty, while also seeking to foster a dialogue about the economic and cultural disparities between the countries of Northern and Southern Europe. From A to Z assigns a prominent role to the blue color of the European flag and, through the use of metaphors, amplifies concepts such as fragility, rupture, and dissonance.
