DIRECTOR AND CHOREOGRAPHER - EL MISMO AIRE

EL MISMO AIRE

The song tells the whole story shown in the video and was the main inspiration for it. It’s about the tough truth that sometimes a relationship has to end, even if the love is still there. This idea is summed up with the saying, "love is not enough." 

The video touches on the painful reality that someone who was once a huge part of your life and shared so much with you can become a stranger. It gets to a point where you can’t even be in the same room together breathing "The Same Air", the english translation of the song’s title "El Mismo Aire" which perfectly captures the feeling of estrangement and the emotional distance that can grow between two people who were once so close.

PRODUCTION MANAGER - MOVING MEMORY THEATRE COMPANY: DEVIL'S DOORBELL

DEVIL'S DOORBELL (article link)

The Devil's Doorbell is a euphemism for the clitoris. The performers will explore the banal, bizarre & sub-surface taboos of the female body, ageing, dying & death, to inform physical & digital content for a new piece, & initiate discussions with future partners.

The goal is a piece which rewrites anatomy, places the power of a woman’s body centre-stage & has the potential to engage, surprise & defy the expectations of audiences & communities in theatre & non-theatre spaces.

Moving Memory’s work is informed by older women’s experiences - issues of sexism, ageism & the marginalisation of older women continually recur.

LET YOUR HANDS SING IN THE SILENCE

Are we shaped by our memories? If you leave your birthplace behind, does that change what you remember? And what happens when you try to revisit those memories, in a new place? 

PROJEKT EUROPA brings together a multilingual, migrant ensemble and invites them to reconstruct their memories of who they are and where they come from. In a visual, physical performance that blends documentary theatre with movement and music, a mix of professional and community performers recreate their own personal history from memory, interweaving their stories to create something communal out of what at first seems individual.

Through the eyes of these young people, we see the heartbreak of watching their dreams slip away and the pain of feeling hopeless in a country that they love. Despite it all, they remain resilient and determined to create a better future for themselves and their country.
