A story about a moment which would have passed as many others, if it hadn’t been captured by an accidental look.

In innumerable instances what happens to us is forgotten. We keep in mind things which we consider important – the rest remains as incomprehensible fragments of images. We know their shapes but their inside is unknown. Our performance constitutes an attempt to touch the surface of one such an inconspicuous event in which we, suddenly affected by the elusive impulses, begin to experience a life latent in us and travel across the matrix of our memory. It is also an attempt to grasp our imagination and dreams, which may come into being as a result of an accidental encounter and look. An impersonal moment from the outside and an unusual world in the inside.

The performance combines different forms of expression: contemporary dance, movement, acting, music and videos. All those means are subordinated to the idea of amplifying the diverse internal experiences such as memories, associations and dreams. Working on Topinambur the group continued its research on the technique of a dreaming body started in 2004. With this production actors attempted again to implement and develop Arnold Mindell’s method in dance and theater.
