The performance, a co-creation between “public” and “performers”, is the transfer of knowledge housed in the bodies. Those embodied knowledges, which beat in the bodies, are links of memory.

Each body has a cartography of its lived, personal-collective and ancestral memories.
What memory/story is alive in my knees, in my hair, in my eyes, in my sex, in my feet?
What memories have I inherited as sensitivities, intuitions, dreams or wounds that are the essence of my corporality?

The social body — collective body inhabits my skin. History/memory runs in my blood.

The meeting of bodies is the meeting of their memories: their ancestors and descendants.

What is the lived memory and what will be the memory of the future?
