About the performance:
When everything is consumed by the flames and you are left with a life less than imagined, you begin instead to live the dreams of others.
You tilt your head and look out of the window, and events seem strange - a burned down building remains, yet the fire still flickers when you move. As your eyes pan across the landscape, you see scenarios where impossibilities are possible, like ”movie-magic.”
You take a jar filled with time and shake it, stirring nostalgia and forgotten times, activating the falseness of memories.
Amid this chaos you can reignite it all - looping like a broken record because it makes you feel fixed in this lost position.
You witness a fabrication in liquor and neon, feel fake tears and bleed glitter. Hotter than a fantasy, lonely like a highway; you are living in a world and it’s on fire.
