About the project
Memories fall into the present and together form a timeless dimension, an echo chamber between performer, space and projection, in which they seem to be constantly at work. -The place of experience is an “old house” into which the protagonist has perhaps just moved, or from which she is just saying goodbye after a long time. – In this situation, a dialogue develops: between the events that have taken place in this house and which have imprinted themselves as memories in the walls, cracks and interstices and the memories of the performer, whose life events have left traces in body and soul. The echo of the past reverberates from both in a strangely timeless state.
It is a constant, conscious and unconscious interplay between what is familiar to us, what belongs to us and what is foreign to us, which nevertheless has an effect on us.

It is a reality of life that affects us in every place. The echo within us can be the history of a society, its historical memory, that of a space, the experience of my counterpart, or that of a dance company.
