MEMOARS

May 16 at 5.00 pm
Venue: Gledališče Glej
Duration: 40 minutes

The wider framework of the piece Memoars revolves around questions of memory and forgetting. It is linked to experience and the research of a past anchored in the mind in the form of stories, scenes, blurry and recast events, and connected to a relationship that doesn’t even exist anymore. The narrow framework is provided by memories of Bara’s grandfather. The performance, dance mixed with occasional monolog, takes place within a beautiful set that functions as the very structure of memory: a structure layered in gorgeous order, covering the entire stage, in which a blast of wind creates ever new shapes.

Bara Kolenc is a dancer and choreographer.
