Tu memoria, nuestra historia

This participatory video performance reflects on the construction of history and what role representation plays in it. What stories and voices are heard? Who issues speech and who are relegated to the place of being represented by others?

We address these questions by combining archival images of historical moments together with images produced and projected live on such an everyday element as sheets growing from a clothesline. It is an immersive experience of sound and visual co-creation.

The attendees are invited to participate via audio and video. With this proposal we want to elevate the viewer to the place of creator and agent of representation, breaking the border between subject and object. Thus, the anonymous stories and bodies that are normally left out of the performance will be predisposed in an essential piece to complete the work, and the story.
