Sinopse
No Face is a dance solo about gender-based violence, centred on the survivor’s recovery, dealing with the truth, finding safety and communication. It portrays the relationship between a survivor and their thoughts, a body that loses its identity after a trauma. Thoughts and memories grow, inhabiting even the simplest moments. The piece questions how trauma transforms the person, its impact on everyday life and whether society is prepared to listen, accept and support survivors. Dance can make a difference. — Thalia Agapaki
