Together, we plunged into the buried narratives of collective memories to bring them to light through contemporary dance. This creation celebrates these extraordinary stories and the people who shaped them, while exploring the broader implications of collective memory for our communities and ecosystems.
David Bonnefoux’s musical creation introduces traditional Armenian instruments. Lace runs through the costumes like a thread in memory of Armenian lacemakers.
