SYNOPSIS

What happens if I forget to remember? How can I understand a past I haven't lived through?

For this creation, Brian Ca and Douglas Becker are focusing their research on the themes of memory and identity, and have invited composer Mike Sherida, as well as Yaz Sané, a multi-talented artist in dance, poetry and theater, to collaborate on this project.

Through a hybrid, intergenerational performance, drawing on our collective archives, the protagonists seek to create a sensory dialogue, not only between themselves, but also with the audience placed in 360° on the stage. In this performative space, a body, that of 67-year-old Douglas, lies on a dissection table as the audience enters. He asks himself: "What happens if I forget to remember? How can I understand a past I didn't live through? What am I doing here?"
What if questioning one's identity, gender or memories, allowed new perspectives to emerge? How can we imagine together new, non-hierarchical modes of reciprocal exchange that will enable us to coexist in a more meaningful way ?
