An interactive performance with the audience, where visitors were invited to break dishes, which is a ritual found in Greece. In the performance of “Be part of the destruction”, it is a dependent performance act based on a specific and continuous kinetic form. The focus was on the different reactions shown by the participants, which ranged from aggressive reactions, fear, fun, seriousness and others. In the process of transferring this ritual form to another space, it led to the focus on the individual and the difference in his reactions, even if everyone was doing the same performance act.
