Windows
Windows was a participatory performance piece by Valeria Simone (Italy), Michael Hanna (Northern Ireland) and Asier Zabaleta (Spain).
Local residents of each location were presented with a series of questions on topics ranging from local to existential issues, tailored to the specific area and discussed through a workshop process. The residents were given red and green lights, designed to signify their answers to the artist's questions, by displaying the lights in the windows of their homes. Visitors outside were also encouraged to participate, by moving between red and green lit areas, to answer the questions. Dance and theatre pieces were performed throughout, thematically related to the questions' topics.
