THOMAS DIAFAS | PERFORMANCE INTERVENTION

Filmed by Tokomburu

Production by Inkas Film Productions

Thomas Diafas, writer and performer (1987), Thessaloniki, Greece | Dance With Me

Thomas Diafas engages visitors in a metaphorical verbal “dance” of speech, expression and creation. Sat in a chair, the artist opens each conversation with visitors using the phrase “That is inhumane”. Jumbled words, responses, emotions — all are set down on paper, to be decoded later, transmuted into a structured work, transformed into poems, texts, songs that give meaning and form to ideas and thought.

Commissioned and produced by NEON + MAI, Thomas Diafas, Dance With Me, on the occasion of AS ONE, Benaki Museum, Athens, 10 March – 24 April 2016, Filming Tokomburu, Production Inkas Film Productions.
