Performance - Concept: Ioannis Karounis (2016 - 2022)

"The long-durational performance starts with a ritual dance - discussion with the ball that lasts approximately 30 minutes, until I decide that the ball will accept my body to balance on it for the rest of the day. During this spatiotemporal performance, there is another inner dimension: it is an ongoing discussion with myself and the audience. I want to decode and understand the reactions and behaviors of the audience who sees a man trying to find his balance among opposite forces."
