BIRD DEMENTIA

dance performance, 2013







ABOUT


Dementia is a state of oblivion. State of madness. The no brain state. You do not choose dementia. It selects you. And than everything changes. Forgotten, it does not know what it was and it does not have a clue of what will it become. And it is changing as we speak. It forgets. It turns from fiction to reality, concrete is replaced by abstract, rationality is overrun by emotion. Meaning becomes feeling, personal is now public. A joke becomes the truth and the truth is turned into a joke. Life is death. And if I remember correctly, something really important should be written here. Forget it. Even a bird knows more.
