“Where do the memories go?
Why you left?
Have you seen how he/she/it looked at you?
And what? If I shut up, it will hurt less?
Will he/she/it realize the love he/she/it captures?
Can the sea take away my memories like it takes away the words from the sand?
It is a new beginning, an opportunity to start from scratch, I am tired of borders; We still have to pack the kitchen things…”
Past, present and future. Ten people confront their identities, challenges, commitments, promises of love, memories. Together they meditate on who they were and who they are to invent who they will be.”
Show within the 20th Festival of Performing Arts of Santa Eulàlia
