I wish I could keep you longer
This is not really a performance. This is a space woven from fragmented memories - a place for mourning for my ancestors, and a longing for ancestral lands. This is a space of contemplation, grief, joy. A space for dancing, resting, lamenting, letting go.
I would like to introduce some of my ghosts to you through storytelling, ritual, and dancing. My ghosts are very dear to me, and I carry them close to my heart. They are people that have passed away, places that I cannot return to, and moments in time I wish I could recapture.
As my guest I invite you to sign up for a specific arrival time. At your arrival you are given a recording of my voice that will guide you to go for a short walk outdoors. Please bring your smart phone and headphones. The recording is shared through a QR-code.
Once you return from your walk, you are invited to enter Studio 16 where a long-durational sharing of my memory space is on-going. The sharing is made of a 100-minute loop that will be repeated three times. You are invited to stay as long as you want to.
