Tell me a story from before I can remember
This is the dystopia of what we remember.
Constructing not just a space but an entire world. The performance delves into how we hold onto and reconstruct fragments of the past, examining the process of recollection and what is remembered. Through a series of layered, sensory experiences, the piece interrogates how we project these memories into the present and navigate their interaction with the ever-changing urban environment. As the performance unfolds, the boundaries between the familiar and the unfamiliar dissolve, with everyday spaces and objects subtly transformed by fragments of lost time. The urban landscape itself becomes a stage for this reflection, as traces of history, and hidden narratives begin to overlay the present reality. The performance invites the audience to reflect on how their own memories shape their perception of the world around them. What remains when the past and the present collide? How do we carry the weight of what has been, and how do we navigate through the layers of unfamiliarity in the everyday spaces we inhabit?
