What if the Boy who cries wolf wasn’t lying?
What happens when you are being constantly chased by an invisible wolf?
Crying Wolf is a performance project looking into the topic of chronic pain. Pain not only affects the body, but also its relationship with the world. It is a constant need to fight against natural instinct in order to give a performance of “being healthy”. It is a constant need to reveal oneself in order to be believed, and a constant need to Eat.
Crying Wolf is an ongoing multi-disciplinary research project into pain's true representation. In the performance, I used scenography as a discourse between performers (in pain) and the audience (spectator). By designing through viewpoints of space and time, the performers could achieve their own catharsis by completing their journey through pain, the spectator is guided to transform their way of seeing from watching/voyeuring to witnessing.
