''Ah! I have kissed thy mouth, Iokanaan, I have kissed thy mouth.There was a bitter taste on thy lips. Was it the taste of blood?... Nay; but perchance it was the taste of love.... They say that love hath a bitter taste.... But what matter? what matter? I have kissed thy mouth, Iokanaan, I have kissed thy mouth''. Oscar Wilde, SalomeWhich is the Past of an Art object we admire now? Isn't the work of today's artists to reveal the secrets of what now is considered as a work of Art? And how often, the artists are compatible to deal with this past.Does they deal with it as a conceptual state, reshaping a dialogue with it, by contrasting the Time as the catalyst of the identity in History of Art?The past as an infection in Art can be a medium to work when this is injected in a theatrical play or in a performance and to perceive better its historical Toxicity?"Art can be poisonous from its own past?"These words mentioned in Shakespeare in this amazing monologue of Queen Margaret in the theatrical play, Henry IV, to reveal the poisonous aspects of an object and how the transformation into art becomes overthrow.Filippos performance with the support and collaboration of ASFA is a juncture between the visual and performing arts and aims to explore the affinities and differences between classic theatre and performance by considering that performance is the “new intruder from the poisoning past,” and that both disciplines are “poisoned and wounded” from their interface.But also searches for a particular point of convergencing emotions by using the end of the theatrical plays Salome of Oscar Wilde, Kaspar of Peter Handke, and the recent rap Panick Attack by Dave.The canvas is the classic play where through its skin, is hidden under a mask, a terrible secret.Mixed feelings will be created during the Live Art action, such as cancellation, annulment, failure, pun, implausibility, extravagance, absurdity, obscenity, childishness, swelling, stress, pain or enormous exaggeration are experienced by the mask wearing artist. Hollow words. Difficulty in formulating coherent sentences or ideas, involvement in style. Abuse of contrast and metaphor. Subtlety. Immorality. Delight in the horrible. Lack of grace. Lack of charm. Beyond the limits. Too much talent. Have little talent. Take effect. Be real. Be true. Act truthfully. Forget the textThese emotions will be this particular point of convergence. Should be the same emotions as the ones described by Victor Hugo on his book Shakespeare and his time and how the public and even his colleagues thought about him but with the use of no Shakespearian texts at all.Close to the limits of madness, the end of the performance will be quite unusual as we follow the words of a sick mask that needs treatment from its own past.A video installation along the space, will visually support the performance.
