We are the Saras, two performance artists and friends who also both happen to be named Sara-with-no-H. Together we devise a performance for: the laiki agora market in Athens & Waking Life Festival in Alentejo, Portugal.

We are the clock, circling the lake, chiming time into motion. Carriers of chaos and order, we move in moods and mirrors—summoning followers, scattering silence. Half-masked, twin-spirited, we are ritual and rupture. A duet of light and dark, spinning time back at you.

We are the clock, {A} clock, and we traverse the lake at 3’s, 6’s, 9’s, and 12’s, with the sound of a chime.

The lake performs its circles on us as we circle the lake. We may collect crowds and followers in spontaneous processions Eruptions. We interrupt, invite, ignore, call out, silently push. Time follows its own course, and no one can see inside the mind of the clock. But we can! We are Sun-Moon Sara and Moon-Sun Sara. Our cycles run with moods and the environment; we channel Dionysian revelry and bring Apollonian order, just like the ancient Horae. [Daughters of Chronos, observing the hours of rest, of play, of gymnastics, of feasting, of pleasure, of libations, of bathing]. We are inverted commas, the light in the dark and the dark in the light (we are both switches). We wear costumes: fabulous yet folksy/grungy, our faces partially obscured. Our movements are informed by time’s movements- forwards facing backwards, backwards facing forwards, the hora circle dance [but make it queer]. Troubadours, traveling bards, playful, preening, prancing// Introverts, serious souls, moody ritual proceedings. We are both sides of the coin, and when you toss it up in the air we spin and spin and spin and reflect the light, off the lake, right back at you.
