Lecture perfor­mance: Trailer

SALT Beyoğlu, Floor 3
March 11-April 3
Wednesday and Friday: 18.30, Sunday: 16.30

Specially commissioned for the exhibition A Century of Centuries, Trailer (2015) is a series of lecture performances conceived and performed by dance artists Erinç Aslanboğa, Natalie Heller and Bahar Temiz that look into notions of personal and collective memory by gathering elements from the past and reorganizing them in a performative frame.

The lectures investigate the possibility of creating a space where one can navigate between past, present and future, fiction and reality, and by extension experience their simultaneous occurrence.

How do we knit the stories we tell?

What elements from the past trail into the present?

How do we take hold of a memory?
