Inspired by a photograph, which shows the Italian actress and performer Elettra de Salvo at a demonstration in the Seventies in Rome, the choroeographer Jochen Roller, together with his actress, embarks on a journey through time, into her memories.

Inspired by a photograph, which shows the Italian actress and performer Elettra de Salvo at a demonstration in the Seventies in Rome, the choroeographer Jochen Roller, together with his actress, embarks on a journey through time, into her memories. By means of different objects, which de Salvo brings onto the stage in a box, she describes the journey from her past into her present. The objects serve as triggers for anecdotes, choreography and songs, with which she faces up to the ageing process. By working together, the two artists from two different generations create a short, ironic and slightly melancholic piece about what it means to belong on the scrap heap.
A co-production from the Mousonturm Künstlerhaus, Frankfurt and HAU Berlin.

The themed dance event FOREVER YOUNG presents, over three weekends, the contemporary positions of choreographers on the demographic migration of our ancient society. Although elderly people today already represent a larger proportion of our society than young people, the aesthetic norm for FOREVER YOUNG is: look young, stay young and feel young!
Dancers and choreographers are acutely aware of this norm, because for them, in terms of their career, the ageing process becomes significant much earlier in life than it does for other people. Every dancer over 40 is confronted with the decline of their joints, meaning they are forced to consider the way in which they move. In the best case scenario, what emerges are new choreographic methods which incorporate the ageing process into the movement. The invited productions define old age not as a loss of abilities but as a gain of artistic possibilities and means of expression.
