sisters
project description, credits,,,,,
On May 26, 1990, Chekhov’s ballet Three Sisters was scheduled to premiere at the Wrocław Opera, but the performance never took place. Months earlier, Poles had witnessed the collapse of the communist regime, opening a new future with new desires, dances - and new Moscows. Perhaps these rapid socio-political changes caused the planned ballet to fade into oblivion. The sisters remained trapped in forgetfulness, waiting not only for Moscow but also for the promised premiere.
This semi-documentary attempt of recovering dancing bodies simulates a ballet that never came into being.. It is a story about intimacy, time and inheritance. It seeks traces of lost futures, setting in motion a poetic shift from that which haunts toward that which heals and liberates. It is an act of resistance against personal and institutional politics that use oblivion as a tool of censorship - erasing memories.
