Dance on the edge between what is deeply personal and very human, between laughter and grief and wonder. BODY MEMORIES, a wild and often comic ride, is one man's journey inward to find meaning in his life. He becomes an archeologist of the soul, digging through the layers of his past. Evocative images blend with a riveting performance that uncovers family secrets and buried traumas. The Bouffon, a creature who reflects the light and dark aspects of the protagonist's journey, accompanies him on this outrageous odyssey. One part Spalding Gray, one part Pan's Labyrinth, BODY MEMORIES is more than a poignant and enchanting story, it is mythic revelation of hope and possibility.
