A SACRED REVERIE IN A DEAD NOSTALGIA
MACARENA BIELSKI
About the project:
A Sacred Reverie in a Dead Nostalgia explores generational nostalgia as a shared and embodied experience. The piece draws on the notion of dead nostalgia: the longing for something that no longer exists, yet continues to leave traces in our bodies, identities and ways of relating to one another.
Through movement, live sound and sensory dramaturgy, the bodies become living archives where memory emerges as a physical, emotional and political force. An immersive experience moving between the intimate and the collective, between loss, desire and persistence.
