POTHEAD, 1998
16mm film
A short, explosive study in urban angst, the seedy black and white mise-en-scene features a modern truth seeker who is blinded by the stainless steel pot over his head. Ripping the pages out of a book to show his contempt for language, the dancer’s true expression can be found in movement as he dances solo against a bleak landscape.
Choreographed & Performed by: Yannis Adoniou
Music: Jay Alan Zimmerman
