Echos der Erinnerung – Eine interdisziplinäre Reise durch das Vergessen

With the walk-in interdisciplinary performance 'Echoes of Memory', the music and dance theater Filidonia addresses the multi-layered topic of remembering and forgetting. In the premises of the former malt factory in Oberbarmen, an artistic experience is created under the direction of an international team of six artists, which takes the audience on a poetic journey into the depths of human memory. At the heart of the performance is the question of how memories are selected, shaped and changed and what forgetting means for the personal self-image and collective society. From individual memories to historical events, the performance explores the fluid boundaries between memory and forgetting and invites the audience to experience the complexity of this topic from different perspectives.

The interactive approach of the Filidonia ensemble is particularly noteworthy. The audience is actively involved in the performance, moving freely through the lively installations at KunstWerk Wuppertal and becoming part of the production themselves. The damp quarrystone cellar, the old freight elevator and the numerous art studios become a labyrinth of sounds, light and movement that make forgetting an atmospheric experience. The ensemble's diverse cultural backgrounds from China, England, Austria, Chile and Germany enrich the performance with a variety of linguistic and artistic perspectives.

With 'Echoes of Memory', Filidonia succeeds in creating a unique reflection on the importance of remembering and forgetting in a constantly changing world.

After the performance, KunstWerk Wuppertal invites you to take a tour of the studios.
