This captivating & expressive work is an interpretation of Anastassiia’s poem ‘Una Máquina de Olvido/An Oblivion Machine,’ which explores how someone may be able to forget the past, by choice, as a coping mechanism for heartbreak.
A piece of poetry in motion, the performance combines elements of spoken word with dance, and features soundscapes & rhythms created by Anastassiia using a loop station.
In this solo piece, the dance is fragmented and brought together through sound loops recorded live, which replay different percussive elements from earlier points of the performance. Through the combination of past and present steps, a new narrative is created, reshaped, and ultimately relieved.
