Ignorance hides a lot of violence

Feb 19

Written By Lia Haraki

Ignorance is opposite to science

Ignorance is within us all

As there is no way to know it all

And yet it is in the not knowing

That problems are underlying, ignored and growing

Αt the same time is there one truth?

Or infinite amounts as various consciousnesses prove

A key thing to keep in mind

Is one’s choices are their gold mine

For those things that mean the most

Are those one should know and host

So that one can grow, flourish and be

Within their own true reality

Which hopefully harms none, respects many

While some other realities are violent, vicious, and deadly

So by not knowing that, and remaining silent

Ignorance hides a lot of violence

Hug huge

Lia

Lia Haraki

Lia Haraki is an interdisciplinary performer, maker and practitioner working across performance, devised theatre, choreography, song, spoken word and what she calls repetitive poetry. As a creator, she is occupied with issues related to identity, community and value and she beleives in the power of art as a medium that can trigger shifts in perception towards a fairer world.

Lia usually works with the moving and sounding qualities of the human body, in order to speak about its sociopolitical position, by challenging notions of normality associated to it. Beginning from self-sarcasm and working with satire, she enjoys finding performative ways to crack socially constructed narratives and reveal the illusion we have of them as ‘real’. In her pieces vulnerability and empathy are celebrated as human super powers and act as threads that connect the performer with the audience.

Her work in general takes the shape of staged works, site-specific pieces, one on one experiences, sound installations, standup shows, music bands and performances in shops.

At the same time she is proud to have developed several practices through the collaborative artistic research of the past twenty years in the forms of workshops, coaching and artists’ mentoring. In general she considers inspiring others and triggering creativity awakenings especially in younger artists is her most sacred of services !

Ignorance hides a lot of violence

A material and an immaterial tool I find useful

Vocalizing to become lighter
