PERFORMANCE:
​
Flamboyance: find your way back brings to life the cliché ‘I’ll rest when I’m dead’ whose implications limit our ability to feel other things. We are taught to wake up and clock in; to account ourselves to an authority, to define our ‘value’ through work. When does it end? What is the end? Flamboyance: find your way back is a storytelling performance that brings to light the collective manic state of human activity. The stories range from personal to political. 'Rain does not fall on one roof alone.'
