Konstantinos Rigos | "Dressed Naked"

Dressed-naked, "cover" and "reveal." The body as a tool of beauty or as a machine of decay is the field where Konstantinos Rigos’ new performance unfolds. The protagonists are two men without identity, dressed in modern everyday clothing. As the action progresses, they will shed their clothes, intentionally or unintentionally, to remain as two naked bodies within a defined space from which they cannot escape. The space, empty of objects, emphasizes the isolation surrounding the figures and makes their forced coexistence painfully tangible.

Through the struggle for clothing and the confrontation between the naked and the clothed, “disguised” body, the performance seeks the attainment of a true identity, the rediscovery of the lost self, which equates to finding the lost paradise. The two performers, descendants of Cain and Abel, heirs of the Original Sin, will struggle to assert their existence in a universe that cannot accommodate both. The Garden of Eden is irreversibly lost, plunging their innocence into darkness. The fratricide will occur and inevitably give way to guilt.

This is a performance of internal exploration and wandering within the unknown universe that lies within us, featuring two performers, Antonis Antoniou and Tasos Karachaliou.
