[A szöveg csak angol nyelven érhető el] Re: Trace (I–IV)
An Audiovisual Cycle in Four Movements
Concept
Re (I–IV) is a 30-minute live audiovisual journey exploring the fragility, layering, and persistence of memory through sound and image.
Structured in four movements, the work moves through different states of remembrance: the purity of repetition, the weight of personal memory, the distortion of blurred impressions, and the collective echo of trauma and conflict.
At the core of the project lies a reflection on the unstable nature of memory: what we remember is never entirely identical to what actually happened. Repetition, seemingly motionless, reveals itself to be transformative: each return carries a subtle variation—a different light, an unexpected shift in perspective, a changed observer. It is not a copy, but a reconstruction: a partial and fragile re-emergence, like an image reflected on a rippling surface.
Certain sounds return like echoes—not identical, but familiar enough to awaken suspended sensations. The mind finds itself in a tunnel of thoughts, where time and space expand, and memory is no longer a linear archive but a living matter, woven from silences, distortions, fleeting details, and sudden glitches.
Memory appears and disappears, fragments and reforms, leaving behind only its trace: a smell, a sound, a pause, an image fading away.
The work also suggests that some memories do not belong to us individually, but exist within the collective body of society: shared events, historical traumas, repressed or denied experiences. Some choose to disconnect, while others listen to the background noise. Yet even what has been filtered out or forgotten remains beneath the surface, ready to resurface in moments of rupture.
Using a sonic language that incorporates noise, drone, ambient, and experimental aesthetics, Re moves between stillness and intensity, contemplation and rupture. Some passages invite a meditative form of reflection, while others confront the listener with abrasive sonic textures, rhythmic pulses, and sudden distortions.
Re is a space that is at once intimate and political, poetic and sensory. A place where memory is not simply evoked, but transformed, disrupted, and ultimately traversed once again.
The Four Movements
The performance unfolds through four distinct states, moving from purity and repetition, through personal memory and blurred recollections, toward a collective echo of trauma and remembrance.
Performance
Re combines pre-composed audiovisual material with live interventions, making each performance a new and unrepeatable experience.
