dedication to what happened – Karlotta Frank

Dear ocean, you were the sun.I forgot to turn off my head last night. We left traces in the car. And we fucked it up so bad. But dear ocean, don’t worry, I have lit the candles.

In “dedication to what happened” Karlotta Frank weaves together set material and instant composition – crafting, moving and playing around with left sensations. She transforms into various characters, navigating through themes such as romantic love, abortion, and grief. This work boldly examines the paradoxical interplay between life’s gravity and absurdity, offering a deeply cathartic experience, which invites you to connect with.

At first The Past and The Future exist separately, yet in harmony. Then one day, they move too close to one another and a vortex opens up between them. Out of the vortex comes The Present moment and The Prince of Time. The Sixth Dimension smiles and teleports to join the party. Who invited the Spirit of Truth? Eternity watches from afar.

Replica : Between two shadows Maiada Aboud

Performer: Luisa Ravanelli

‘Oh stars open my eyes, and let me wander freely in the vast space.
Oh night, snatch my soul, for my imprisonment in exile has been long, and in the captivity of exile, my despair prolonged.
I dream of death lifting me without suffering, a peaceful pious death.
My heart has grown weary of the sound of crying and wailing, and my tongue now fears to speak.
My bed is made of thorns, and my sleep is trembling…’

Replica will provide a glimpse to an attempt to communicate femininity, pain, therapy, and engagement between two women. Between two shadows trying hard to get familiar with each other’s stories. Moving between memories of the past into trying to accept the present. A dance between their pain, scars, memories, grief, love, and acceptance.
