“In an era where “rituals” have become individualized and detached from the context of community, how do we detect the physical memory that exists in all authentic rituals? How exactly does this form of memory survive? In her new piece, choreographer Ermira Goro, a familiar name to Festival audiences, deliberately avoids a nostalgic take on ritual as a foundational “myth”. Six dancers, guided by Stavros Gasparatos’ original musical composition, seek something that may be impossible to find anymore. Flashes of memory, fragments of movement, shells of experience punctuate the original question: if ritual inhabits the cellular memory of a community, what exactly can it reveal to us about its contemporary structure and the bodies attempting to perform it?”
