Dance Victoria & Impulse Theatre co-present:
"on the nature of..."
by Amber Downie-Back
"on the nature of…" is an interdisciplinary performance and installation piece that explores the intricate relationship between memory, nostalgia, past selves, and the act of letting go of once-imagined futures. This interdisciplinary work intertwines movement, projection, and sound to create an immersive experience that invites audiences to reflect on their own journeys through time.
Three performers serve as “memory caretakers” who navigate the intimate act of holding memories. They investigate how memories evolve alongside changes in our lives, exploring how memory lives in our bodies, symbolic objects, places, sounds, and images. Through planned interactions, the performers invite audiences to make inter- and intrapersonal connections through the exploration and sharing of memories.
