Masked and costumed like an outlandish doll, Euripides Laskaridis takes care of the chores in a makeshift room with sublime insouciance and surreal glamour. Grappling with ideas of transformation and ridicule, he tests our acceptance of the incongruous and unfamiliar to the limit. Conjuring magic from mundane materials in a strikingly eccentric solo piece with echoes of cabaret, slapstick and vaudeville, he is at once entertaining and tragic. The charismatic Greek artist presents unflinching work that challenges perceptions and reflects changes in society. In Relic, he ?swipes at many issues around bodies, gender and conformity' (Irish Times).
