The attempt in this process is to find a language in a time that leaves you speechless. A language about longings, hopes, dreams, despair, loss, fear and love, togetherness and being alone. About our strengths and weaknesses and the desire to heal.
Looking at this time leads inwards to looking within ourselves. Where is the war within us and where is the healing? We look for answers in the questions and allow what we find to be discussed. A language that frees you from the inability to understand yourself. Torn into fragments of experiences that point to the whole and always mean everyone. Every moment has a past and a future, but short excerpts are enough to guess everything. It's not about the language, but about what makes us speak inside. Why we are the way we are. As if life passes us by and in the end we understand who we are. Because we are finally listening and being heard, letting our ancestors and those who have not yet been born have their say.
