"I REMEMBER IT LIKE FROM A DREAM,
yellow and distant.
That smell, an old memory, I'm still waiting to
meet it again.
For eternity, I am dormant.
To wake up, to be a child again, to feel free.
For some reason a silence, for some reason a
window, for some reason far away, mysterious
and quiet, stormy and cruel.
Far away.
Here is not enough, the desire for something else.
To be moved.
And the anger, like a sea monster imprisoned in
the depths, oppressed and forbidden.
Suppressed.
I dance freely into the same trap.
Falling again into self-deception, and running on
the wheel with more determination.
At the moment, there is no answer or solution,
only a distant memory from the future."
The piece was created as part of an artist residency program, supported by the Givatayim Municipality.
The premiere took place at the Tami Choreographic Festival by Jerusalem Dance Theater.
