Chimera is a project that embraces a vision of performative arts as composite, improbable, and sometimes contradictory elements, creating unique and hybrid forms.
The first edition will focus on transformation—whether physical or metaphorical—as a way to question our connection to our inherent animality.

Program
08:30PM - Blue Moon: Blue Balls by @evapapadakis_
Blue Moon: Blue Balls is a reading performance navigating the grotesque, poetic, and absurd dimensions of the human condition. It asks: “Can my balls still be loved if only one of them can fill my palm, or will it scare you away?”
Eva’s recent medical misfortunes and embodied “monstrosities” offer an intimate exploration of bodily transformation, vulnerability, and resilience.
09:30PM - bestiaire by @nefeli_asteriou
Nefeli Asteriou’s bestiaire is a transformative exploration of identity through monster-like images and movements. Figures such as the woman-spider, dancer-swan, and sylph emerge and vanish, blending symbols and dance references to challenge definitions. Drawing on clichéd animal metaphors tied to femininity, the piece reexamines identity in a world of constant change. With a sharp perspective on femininity and masculinity, the work delves into the body’s expressive potential, confronting the fear of visibility while asserting the right to continuously redefine itself.
10:30 PM - until midnight

“Flip the table”
collective writing workshop
led by Christina Reinhardt
4/10/2025
18:00-20:00
at Big Table
maximum number of participants: 13
Workshop description
“Flip the table” is a collective writing workshop led by Christina Reinhardt that flips the idea of the individual writing table into a common table of citational practices, collective memory making, and community politics around textual form. What if the privacy and isolation of the writer is undermined, and the writing table becomes a site of multiple references, collective textual archaeology and interactive association over a wide range of references? “Flip the table” will be a writing jam, an ecosystem of thinking and writing with others escaping the supposed individuality of the writer. A plural repository of singular inputs that loses track of intellectual property and belonging. The group will work with a variety of quotes stemming from diverse sources around the object “table” and work on a collective text as a common writing ground.
