Haptic memory game. Gioco di memorie tattili

Abstract

A game to re-evoke through touch and direct human experience: MEMORIES. As we all need to be, as curious and free as we were, as child, again and still now.

Yesterday the three actors played the “Haptic game of memories” together with the audience of the show. The chosen cast was based on some meaningful encounters I had over the five semesters of studies; Ramiro is a sculptor friend and former classmate who helped me to find my place in the academy through analysing the different faculties as options, once he gifted to me the anthropological “Calendar of the soul” from Rudolf Steiner with a sentence week by week which gave me inspiration and motivation. Thomas is a singer and painter I look up to who I met through my first theater project "Stimmen Meer” over my second semester of studies; Alice is a joyful performer who was acting in the last collaboration project I had in Hannover, last spring, called “Zerbrechlich”. These people figures inspired me a lot and I had the luck to have them in my cast.

The HAPTIC MEMORY GAME was made not only to have a deep glimpse in my childhood and bringing it now to life in a 3D form, giving a physical form to memories, but also to let the others – the audience, re-evoke their own childhood as well.
