UNUSUAL SUSPECTS (2012) – A solo performance by Evie Demetriou

“Brilliant, fresh and playful. Evie’s capacity to interact with the spectators and to react fast to their responses is quite unique. I appreciated the playful approach to the dance and the dialogue with the audience and the integrity of the artist who played in a zone of danger outside the comfortable territories of contemporary dance”. – Roberto Casarotto, artistic director at Operaestate Festival Veneto

The performance explores the need and desire for an ideal partner and an ideal relationship and the fear of being alone. At the same time it questions the limit between performer and audience, while challenging the performance structure to be flexible to be modified through the audience response.
