Bodies drift between recall and release, caught in the fragile space between being known and being gone. “Disremembering” asks what remains when we start to forget, and whether erasure can ever be gentle. This piece is a work in progress.
Notas del Coreógrafo: Un recuerdo se disuelve, no en un instante, sino a través de la silenciosa repetición: nombres borrosos, gestos suavizados, huellas que se desvanecen donde antes había contacto. Los cuerpos oscilan entre el recuerdo y el olvido, atrapados en el frágil espacio entre lo conocido y lo ausente. «Desrecordar» plantea qué queda cuando empezamos a olvidar, y si el olvido puede ser alguna vez suave. Esta obra está en proceso de creación.
