| Introduction | Eirini's performance work deals with the problematics of human relationships, the memory of sexual encounters and the discomfort of being loved. It combines fictional and autobiographical narratives with coarse imagery in order to explore the solitude of desiring and the enigmatic nature of wanting. It uses repetition as a constitutive element of the fragmented stories it narrates: relentlessly repetitive movement and text function as a reminiscent of experiencing times of waiting, frustration and longing. The use of everyday objects in unusual, unpredictable ways attempts to re-stage the memory of intimate, sexual or otherwise, encounters in a playful, yet sinister manner. The work, which is about and from the body, voluptuously explores the thrill and wonder of eroticism, discovering, through the physicality of movement and the repetitive storytelling that, ultimately, what we want is to want. |
