Invited guests: Carla Rafaela Denali & Jenny Graf Sheppard


A disrupted memory - neither archive nor retrospective

In this performance in-between past and future, Sara Gebran is remixing material from the first three years of the performance series The Forests’ Imaginary Trials (2023–2025). Elements of arts, ecology and law are blended, as the performance interweaves  the three previous projects into a new and unsettling whole, where grief, accusations, and healing frequencies intertwine. Fragments of film, dance, performance and poetry return displaced, repeated, and transformed. The work reimagines the past as a site of new encounters, generating memories remembered for the first time. 

A gathering of accusations, our crimes against the more-than-human world move us through a clearing, sonic gratitude – a collective déjà-vu of grief and hope, to prepare for the new performance sequence: WHEN FORESTS DREAM, premiering the 6. of September.
