Documentary conférence-performance

~40-minute live performance explores the Chornobyl catastrophe through the memory of four generations, contrasting global media imagery with lived experience.

~4 hours workshop helps participants from different contexts discuss their own histories of trauma, revolution, displacement or loss of collective memory. The workshop’s test-run showed that uncertainty appears everywhere: in time, place, identity, and change. It helps people speak about what remained unspoken, discover parallels in others’ stories, and reconnect with forgotten feelings – functioning almost like a grounded, collective session of reflection.
