Do you believe that art can literally transform you?

Once there was a land where people were poems is an enchantment, an invitation to transform yourself into a living poem. Inspired by fairy tales, the performance explores the space in-between magic, poetry, and contractual agreements. 

In this one-to-one durational performance, artist Olga Spyropoulou asks you to choose a poem and commit to remember it and be able to recite it for the rest of your life. How would your life change if you shared it with a poem?
