Gunilla Heilborn and Theater im Bahnhof practise remembering – not so much what, but rather how. The joint premiere sets out to find ways not to forget the seemingly banal things in life.

We usually remember wonderful, overwhelming things much better than we do ordinary things. Swedish director Gunilla Heilborn and Graz-based Theater im Bahnhof, however, share a love of the everyday. And so three members of the TiB company join two performers from Sweden in search of techniques of remembering the little details of everyday life.

What makes us remember? Is it a smell, a pop song? Is our memory like a field where we can stroll around and find things from the past? If I turn today into a marvellous image in my mind, will that help me to keep it there? And what would it be like to be one of those few people in the world with an extreme memory capacity that allows them to remember what they did on every day of their lives? A bliss or a nightmare?

With various means the performers try to call up their memories, to repeat and question them – with a special focus on what appears to lie beyond major events and moments in life. Like Stockholm, April 7th, 2017: “Leaving work in a boat. With others that probably normally wouldn’t. It’s a beautiful evening. It’s a horrendous day. So, so quiet.”
