KATERINA ANDREOU: BSTRD

BSTRD is a solo performance, based on the notions of impurity and hybridisation: what if the idea of purity is an illusion and everything was made of a much more complex material, so that the focus would not be on origin (or originality) but on the ultimate function or/and impact on everything else? Inspired mostly by house culture’s practice of amalgamation, I am interested in developing a physicality that can considerately serve the concept of pure impurity, and in creating a vinyl as scenography and tool of the political and poetic discourse of a bastardised figure, free of constraint and codification, and respectful to its reality.
