What keeps us connected? Is it memories? Parents? Childhood? Dreams? What we left behind? Somewhere. Far away. What drives us to run away? Ropes of feelings and hopes that give us freedom. That take away our freedom. Under the title “Here. Now. Nowhere”, Blenard Azizaj held the premiere of “The Great Migration: Bodies in Transit” at Hangart.
The dance performance came within the framework of Europe Week, revealing with body language, one of the challenges of the continent and the union, as a place of escapes and returns. Through interpretation, Azizaj and Elena Catardicco, conveyed, the bodies that carry traces of times, places, emotions. The black and white that mark us by dividing the worlds with a knife. The worlds that we see and do not belong to. The times we fall and get up again, stronger but crushed.
The show, based on the thematic universe of the Great Migration, was approached as an archive of displacement, memory, and survival.
