Jeries AbuJaber (CZ, PS): If Only I’d Forget You After One Last Dance
“If only I’d forget you after one last dance” is an attempt to embody a cluster of pain, grief, anger and love. A journey follows a thread of loss and reveals the rubble that stays behind. It is an invitation to a collective experience of overcoming and forgiveness. Through movement, video and exploration of specific objects, the event locates friction between political pain and personal loss. Revisiting the memories of his life in Palestine and finding a way to share the ineffable, Jeries dives into his body, the epicenter of all the overlapping narratives. He offers himself to be the gravitational center of our temporary constellation and move us to the beat of his heart.“

"Ko bi te vsaj po zadnjem plesu pozabil" je poskus utelešenja prepleta bolečine, žalosti, jeze in ljubezni. Potovanje sledi niti izgube in razkriva ruševine, ki ostanejo za njo. Predstava je vabilo k skupni izkušnji preseganja in odpuščanja. Skozi gib, video in raziskovanje izbranih predmetov predstava razkriva napetost med politično bolečino in osebno izgubo. Obujajoč spomine na svoje življenje v Palestini in iskanje načina, kako podeliti neizrekljivo, se Jeries potopi v svoje telo, epicenter prekrivajočih se pripovedi.
