Performance of 15 min, german and french alternating
at
Satellit M54
Nord Théâtre
Cité Danzas
Saint Louis, France
during REGIONALE 20
The performance is about the memories of my childhood until adulthood. The first memory I can recall, at kindergarten age, was the day I returned home and found the living room empty, except for the radio and a rolled carpet. Finally I had enough space to dance!
As I dug into the past, I noticed how little memories are left and I wondered how a child recollects certain moments, what values these memories have now and how blurred or crystal clear some of them are.
While we can define at some point, what we want to remember, not only by taking pictures of special moments, the desire to memorise something special has not the highest priority during childhood.
