Stay still so you don’t hurt is a response to quarantine where text, music, dance and video art intertwined into a poetic piece on healing through memories and dreams. It all comes out of an inner urge to create and communicate with other artists. The final project is a product of artistic cooperation, yet maintaining each participant’s own artistic autonomy and authentic expression.

Nina Rapi is a bilingual playwright. Her plays have been presented in Athens (e.g., the National Theatre, Theatro Technis, Onassis Cultural Centre, and Theatro Voyiatzis) and previously in London (e.g., the Southbank Centre, Riverside studios, Soho Theatre Studio, andOval House Theatre).
