How does one say goodbye to one's homeland? How does one carry memories forward without being overwhelmed by them? A powerful duet that explores these questions through movement, rhythm and ritualistic actions.
The two performers move between past and present, between personal memories and collective history. They draw on traditions of commemorations and independence ceremonies and deconstruct them. This creates moving images of letting go – and at the same time of the impossibility of separating ourselves from what has shaped us and continues to shape us. At the heart of the piece is a radical idea: grief and joy do not have to be mutually exclusive. They can coexist, intertwine, occupy space together. The repetitive choreography becomes a ritual of transformation – a constant interplay between tension and relaxation, between holding on and letting go. Symbolic objects become bridges between worlds, rhythm becomes a common language. Yotam Peled – whom we now welcome to LOFFT with his second co-production after FISTS TO FLOWERS (2023) – together with dancer and choreographer Nitzan Moshe, invites the audience to become part of a ceremony that is both deeply personal and universally human. A farewell ritual that paradoxically tells of the impossibility of a final farewell.
