ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Quote from https://off.innovato.dev/
Can you break with the past if nothing really disappears?
Then the moment closes above him: on the quickly buried stopping place the unfortunate angel comes to rest, waiting for history in the petrification of flight, gaze, breath. Until the renewed murmur of mighty wingbeats propagates in the waves through the stone and announces his flight.
Norse mythology begins and ends with Ragnarok: the end of all life and the beginning of a new cycle. Do we also find this cosmic movement in ourselves, as an attempt to break with the past? Or will we sooner or later come to the conclusion that a true break with the past is not possible? If nothing ever really ends and everything always works, can a new life even begin? Some moments never go away, wear out very slowly, or always come back. After a Ragnarok, we hope for an emptiness, so that everything is possible again. But, how empty is that void, if old traces continue to haunt us?
