Three-part choreographic performance "Evening Song. So good! Check out.” A synthesis of dance and physical theatre that describes the chronic post-traumatic condition. By combining the body memory of 5 female dancers with collective traumas, the performance, on the one hand, shows the drama of people stuck in one place for a long time in a constantly changing time and space, and on the other hand, with sharp, sometimes melancholic humour, it tries to talk about the reasons and circumstances that society forgets collectively and hides the trauma
Hotel "Georgia", in which this performance is made and performed, is a symbol of this forgetting and banishing of trauma. Located on one of the city's main avenues, the once glorious hotel no longer serves its function. Over time, it has been sold multiple times, and its purpose has shifted from a casino to a club, a legal company, or an unexpected shelter
In 2023, when the performance was staged, 30 years after the war in Abkhazia, IDPs were still living "temporarily" in the Hotel Georgia.
The performance from the Hotel Georgia creates a kind of living memorial in the imagination of the audience, which opens up the possibility of travelling within oneself, acknowledging the trauma and ending it.
* By following this idea, performances can be created in various cities and buildings, each uniquely tailored to the history and context of the chosen site. This approach ensures that the essence of exploring liminal spaces and non-places remains central, while allowing for diverse and location-specific narratives to unfold.
