"Woman and Memory" tells a story of journeying and navigation. The physical and psychological circumstances through which a traveller moves, the feeling of presence and past, passage from one place to another in conjunction with passage of time are the core themes of the multiple-part performance. It centres on the woman, who partly embodies the experiences of the choreographer, and thus traces the choreographic identity of Rosemary Butcher.
The four parts of "Woman and Memory" ("Images Every Three Seconds", "Vanishing Point", "The Hour" and "Hidden Voices") share a special, visual-choreographic characteristic - restless motion sequences connect live performance and video image. In this way the performance aims to investigate the audience's attention for the physically moved image.
Upcoming performances: February 20-21, Mousonturm Frankfurt a.M.
