ON/OFF presents a Public Tragedy – in eight parts. Taking over a series bus-stops along a typical Athens bus route, we stage a sequence of scenes from our tragedy. We take culture out of its sanctified institutions and into the space of everyday-life. Advertisement lighting is repurposed as a silhouette creator, and the bus-stop claimed temporarily as a place of cultural expression. The performances can be watched as stand-alone pieces or followed for the entire play. Public Tragedy explores the political potential of performance as a direct, ad-hoc means of debate.
