– dreams, memories, sounds, chaos, bodies, utopias, swing
'Samtaler med' is an autobiographical dance performance and therapeutic examination of body, memory, identity(s), queer awakening, inner narratives and outer disturbances. About being away, awake, aligned, misaligned, present and absent. About protecting and peeling off.
Through movement, sound, lights and objects the audience is invited into a personal space where Caroline Hawkins Skjørshammer tries to visit and stage this. An internal conversation with the known, unknown, old and new. A bodily conversation with, and processing, og everything that was not given space in conventional conversational therapy.
