Our memry is far from flawless and we trust it too much. That's it.
We perceive and then generate new conclusions from what we have and might perceive next. Since our whole identity is founded on our ability to remember and imagine, let's shake that understanding of memry to shake our identity.
It would probably need more than a lecture-performance on memry, but let's see what happens, right?

!Potential strobe lights and visuals!

BIO:
I'm a director from Estonia. My own memry is surprisingly bad for a person my age, and my grandmother has alzheimers. The thought or fear of losing it all usually gives us power, but the thought of forgetting it all is seriously scary. In addition to directing I'm a contemporary visual- and sound-artist. Hmu.
