Περίληψη

This article approaches the process of aesthetic creation that involves physical performance practices. It focuses on how memory, performative action, and space interact with each other and how the past can be perceived differently. The research process focuses on building a "sensory" approach that delves into the communication between space, body, memory, and history. It does not prioritise content but rather integrates history and its narration through performative action, emphasising the significance of memory and its continuity. The shift from research to performance can recall the connection between experience and memory. As the bodies reframe their historical perception of the event in the present moment, they gain a sense of unity. As the performance highlights the importance of using art to speak about history in today's society, empowering its members' relationships.
