I Remember – Work in creation

I Remember is a contemporary variation on Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, where myth, music and performance collide in a fiercely theatrical landscape. Three actresses step into the roles of Titania, Oberon and Puck, only to find themselves caught between the characters they embody and the selves they try to protect. What begins as play slowly slips into confrontation, between genders, hierarchies, desires and power structures.

Moving freely between opera, cabaret, comedy and raw musical performance, the show embraces chaos as a creative force. Live baroque soundscapes gradually unravel into distorted electronics and rock rhythms; costumes fall away; identities crack open. Music functions as a character in its own right, exposing alliances, fractures and unspoken tensions.

Refusing a fixed narrative or moral resolution, I Remember is built as a living, collective creation. The performers are not interpreters of a script but co-authors, constantly reshaping the piece through improvisation, resistance and presence. Humour and cruelty coexist, inviting laughter that unsettles rather than reassures.

At its core, I Remember asks what remains of myth today and who gets to tell the story. By breaking theatrical conventions and turning performance into an act of exposure, the piece transforms the stage into a space of vulnerability, resistance and political desire. This is not a search for harmony, but for truth: where fragility becomes strength, and chaos a form of liberation.
