Copyshop
&sistig
“We gather memories and learn them. We visit old people’s homes and dance classes. Celebrate the potato festival, go on trips to Phantasialand, dig out old photos, sing along and listen carefully. We are searching for memories that will disappear because they get forgotten as a result of forms of dementia.” In the company &sistig’s research project ‘COPYSHOP’ the performer Judith Altmeyer becomes a living archive of vanishing memories. She copies, repeats, memorizes and forgets. She represents Grandma, a cowgirl, a childhood photo, a certificate and a symbol. What potential does forgetfulness have to offer? Can we also remember the future? And who does your memory actually belong to? A performance about power and the possibilities of memory, a lecture in forgetting, almost even a dance piece – a montage of what there once was and what might eventually be (there).
