Memories Are Made of This - International Festival collaborates with BADco on a notebook-like performance about the mechanism of forgetting, emotional bankruptcy and spaces that were never there. See BADco on TV.

"Instead of being sorry for yourself, listen" she said. (She always says "Listen," because she thinks while she talks /really/ thinks.)
So she said: "Listen. Suppose this wasn't a crack in you - suppose it was a crack in the Grand Canyon."
"The crack is in me," I said heroically.
"Listen! The world only exists in your eyes-your conception of it. You can make it as big or as small as you want to. And you're trying to be a little puny individual. By God, if i ever cracked, I'd try to make the world crack with me. Listen! the world only exists through your apprehension of it, and so it's much better to say that it's not you that's cracked-it's the Grand Canyon."

F. Scott Fitzgerald: The Crack-Up

After the success of "trailers" for the performance memories are made of this... in November 2006 BADco. presents the premiere series of our new international co-production. Borrowing the title from the famous Dean Martin song, this notebook-like performance explores the mechanisms of forgetting, emotional consumption and remembering moments and spaces that have been evacuated or that were never there.
