What do the people who are deported from their motherlands feel.? How can this pain be interpreted in material form.? Can the performance artist a story about immigration with his body.? Can the body follow this path and show this hard situation?How is the body familiarized with the urban set and keep its identity.?  How can I exist in my private space and out in the public at the same time.? What kind of print does the body leave on the urban set and how is it conceived by the city.? Is there a possibility that the body and its memory become a monument to the city itself.?          

    Taking into the account all things mention above I performed the project named “ out-cast”. The project is side-specific and took place twice in the city of Athens.
