I am in search of a city memory. While buildings are at least for a while visible signs of the lived life of a place, I wonder what could be traces of the immaterial values such as thoughts, emotions, knowledge and experiences of the people who have lived in a city. In this performative video, which is part of a larger project, a fixed sequence of steps and movements of a traditional dance draws paths on the floor. These are constant repetitions, slowed down, carefully executed, within the city (Palermo) and its contemporary everyday life.
