UNFORGETTABLE on August 25th – September 09th I GER Hauptsache Frei #7 Festival der Darstellenden Künste Hamburg With subtitles in Spanish and English UNFORGETTABLE Collage © Erik Tuckow Sichtagitation. Based on the fragmentary character of remembering, UNFORGETTABLE interweaves different narratives and ever new perspectives on a phenomenon that is both specific and general: one’s own private story in a large, historical, social context. The dancer’s body is at the center of the action as an individual actor and at the same time as a mirror of time and space: the military dictatorship in Argentina, Germany as an arms supplier, September 11th and the World Cup. What traces do they leave behind in the body? Which images are engraved in it? What’s unforgettable? Together with an interdisciplinary team (dance, music, video, photo, graphics), the dancer and choreographer Fernanda Ortiz transforms the traces of movement into a documentary – scenic archive of memories. Images of collective memory are blurred with their own (dance) biography and show global interrelationships and democratic processes in rough contradictions. The past and the politic of memory are examined across national borders and re-examined from the current perspective. The film is the result of the transformation of the scenic piece into audiovisual material as a result of the current pandemic situation. The solidarity and the conviction of all those involved made it possible for us to create UNFORGETTABLE again.
