Τank top is a performance piece based on texts written by its two performers touching on notions of birth, construction and deconstruction. Visually, the audience watches the two performers dressing, undressing, dancing, screaming to and fighting each other on stage. A chaotic cluster of information extends metaphorically from within them towards every direction, hitting various emotional targets and tracing unconscious routes. The work’s narrative seems to be cut halfway, in an attempt to stage the idea of sloppiness as an intrinsically Greek characteristic of leaving each task, procedure or thought process incomplete while moving on to the next one over and over.
