Lockdown Chronicles is a new performance commission by dance and performance artist Sandra Boom. The film unravels in a series of scenes that collage poetry, dance and performance across a myriad of abandoned locations in Patras, Greece. Lockdown Chronicles reflects on personal trauma, collective grieving, rage for racial injustice and the feelings of uncertainty during the global pandemic.
The film screening will be bookended with a Lockdown Chronicles live streamed performance, which will happen in real-time in London; bringing together the first and second lockdown in one screening event.
