What if our bodies could speak the lives of those who came before us? Whispers of the Unsung Past is a powerful, reflective performance emerging from a transformative workshop that explores genetic memory—the imprints left in us by the movements, choices, and emotions of our ancestors.
Born out of a week-long creative process, this performance is a living archive: a physical and poetic response to inherited gestures, forgotten stories, and the quiet presence of those who came before. Each performer brings their personal and ancestral history into the space, exploring how movement can reveal inner landscapes shaped by time, memory, and lineage.
Through dance, improvisation, and embodied storytelling, the work delves into questions of identity, legacy, and belonging. It asks:
How do we carry the past in our muscles and bones?
What does it mean to be an artist in the 21st century, standing on generations of silence and song?
At once intimate and universal, Whispers of the Unsung Past invites audiences into a shared act of remembrance and renewal. As performers shed old patterns and embody new possibilities, the stage becomes a space for transformation, healing, and imaginative futures.
Drawing from dance, contemporary theatre improvisation, and poetic play, the performers—participants of the seminar—invite audiences into a world where gesture becomes language, and movement becomes memory.
This is not a final product, but a lived process made visible. A space where vulnerability meets courage, and where the line between performer and witness gently dissolves.
