In a world that is falling apart, until dead matter becomes food again, time seems to be the only thing that lasts. “FÁE” unfolds as a queer survival manual for a world that keeps feeding on itself.

The title of the work is misleading, or rather, a well-hidden hint. The imperative ‘eat’ (‘fáe’ in Greek) reaches our ears both as a command and, at the same time, a gesture of care.

On stage, Efthimios Moschopoulos unfolds memories, thoughts, and references from a place that feels familiar. He composes a system that unlocks the way he relates to nature, origin, and kinship. The work emerges in the form of fragmented acts-rituals. One act follows another like a gastric reflux from the present to the past, from the individual to the collective experience, from the contemporary body to the primordial, thus assembling a new body.

Employing the tools of absurdity and rawness, the work attempts to articulate a narrative about the instinctive missteps of coming of age. A choreography about the ecstatic irrationalities of adolescence. In the end, it constructs an unfamiliar landscape, an ASMR of tenderness, a sensory embrace for the herds of our childhood.

“FÁE” unfolds as a queer survival manual for a world that keeps feeding on itself.

The dramaturgical research for “FÁE” was supported by Onassis AiR.
