Never the Same Selves imagines remembering as a resonant space, fantasizing about an alternative relationship between memory and identity. 

The work poses the question: 

“If our memories exist here and now, can we, for a moment, release the autobiographical life story they have created for us? What then appears?”

Tim Matiakis (choreographer/dancer) and Katrine Grarup Elbo (composer/musician) delve into the experience of the first time we remember ourselves as subjects in a world, to unfold artistic and performative potentials of remembrance, studying the nuances of a lived memory.

Never the Same Selves invites you to intimately examine the connections between memory, identity, and time in an episodic world of ever-shifting character—where things are remembered, reimagined, and reassembled.
