WHY I ATE MY HOUSEIn our house we had cockroaches. We killed the cockroaches. The cat was playing with the cockroaches. And since he no longer has cockroaches to play, he has committed suicide. Our furniture has scratches. Furniture likes scratches. Since the furniture hadn't new scratches, committed suicide. The walls without furniture were lonely. That's why we ate them. Or personal moments in home. Performers: Dimitra Angelou, Dimitris Ameladiotis, Yorgos Efthymiou, Danae Manolesou, Kynthia Plagianou.

The basic idea is to depict on a symbolic level the meaning of expanding a dwelling. The goal is to find supporters to join the square that will be drawn on the floor. This is how the dwelling works. As more people join the group the drawn square will be expanded. The rapid spread will be supported by laugh sounds. People in the square are also very welcome to laugh. The progression of expanding the square and laughs is unpredictable.

Red TangleKnot At Home from red tangle. A dwelling, a place of residence, a home evokes a sense of rootedness. We set up house where we can see ourselves staying and creating a web of relations, or at least, an eventual returning to. Yet in a world constantly changing, putting down roots often becomes a yearning and, at the same time, a dangerous act; as many of us will find ourselves repeatedly on the move, relocating, changing addresses, packing and unpacking belongings, lives, self.
Athina Kanellopoulou (GR)In the framework of "Ma(r)king a Home", the drawing of the plan is carried out in the field (gardens of the ASFA) in a scale of 1: 1, and then seeds, bulbs and roots are used in the areas where there would be walls, in order to built them from the plants, performing an in-situ installation. Through this utopian action, it is intended to re-place human into the matrix/dwelling, structured by plants in the urban environment, in order to reconsider his position towards nature.
