Performance Manifesto is the dream of a dancer to own a performance space. Looked at the other way round, the wish to own a performance space is a metaphor for a strong desire of the dancer to possess his own body space, his own person, to find himself. To own a performance space is a life long ambition that the dancer hopes to fulfil in bits. This is symbolised by the locked padlocks which he hopes to unlock at different stages of his journey.
