HOLDERS
'HOLDERS' is a compelling performance about old age and memories. A dynamic textile installation brings the process of remembering and forgetting to life.

At the centre are five non-professional female performers aged over 70. As they knit and unravel the fabric, they whisper, sing and shout the stories woven into it. Like modern sirens, they navigate through tales of wonder and unease. With their raw authenticity and disarming presence, they take the audience on a shared journey of connection and collective memory. Live music transforms the space into a poetic soundscape where you can let yourself be carried away by the power of age and femininity. Can we learn to cherish the emptiness that remains when a memory fades?
