If Only I'd Forget You After One Last Dance

The piece

An attempt to embody a cluster of pain, grief, anger and love — a journey that follows a thread of loss and reveals the rubble that stays behind. An invitation to a collective experience of overcoming and forgiveness.

Through movement, video and the exploration of specific objects, the event locates the friction between political pain and personal loss. Revisiting the memories of his life in Palestine and finding a way to share the ineffable, Jeries dives into his body — the epicentre of all the overlapping narratives — offering himself as the gravitational centre of a temporary constellation.
