Venuri Perera

In 2013 the dancer Venuri Perera impressed with her Short Piece «Thalattu» (Lullaby), a touching performance of a mother’s despair inflicted by war. In her latest solo she questions the boundaries between traiters and patriots. What some might consider treason others might consider civil disobedience or politically motivated struggle. In a dense and unconventional movement performance Venuri Perera uses her body as a metaphor for adaptation and resistance. With the simplest of means she creates expressive images which have the spectators doubting their own perception.
