walking the line
durational performance: 4 hours
"Infr’Action: International Festival of Performance Art"; La Chapelle; Sète, France. 2011
In silhouette, I walk a tightrope for the duration of the opening evening of Infr’Action.
I find my balance. I lose my balance. I fall. I step back on the line. I lose my balance. I regain balance. I take a step. I take several steps. I fall. I step back on the line. I wobble. I find balance. I fall. I step back up on the line.
Behind me, a projector beams the love stories - fraught with peril - of the men and women who shaped our world.
