YO OBSELETE
year
Childhood memories intertwined with intergenerational trauma. Escapism from reality to worlds of fantasy and symbolism. Parallels between the mystical and embodied experiences. YO OBSOLETE meditates on imagination as a survival mechanism.
The performance navigates through altered states of consciousness, reaching deep levels of memory embodied in the form of poetry, songs, movement, installation and storytelling.
