when it turns red 
a solo performance by Evie Demetriou 

‘Evie Demetriou’s humorous performance “when it turns red” … speaks about the stress evoked by being consistent with the duties as a parent but also as a lover.
Filling the stage with energy… Demetriou allowed us to laugh… to be moved by the obligation of being perfect.’  Dimitris Athinakis , Cultural journalist , Kathimerini Newspaper

 
Does being constantly busy or declaring we are constantly busy symbolizes something? Is “being busy” related to our self-worth? Is it a status symbol?  Playing with both abstraction and narration, humour and interactivity the new work of Evie Demetriou questions the consequences of being busy on the body and the self.
