reverse inheritance

you were so young

when your fathers

cast a shadow

on the walls of your imagination,

it looks at you from darkness

(vastness caressed by light),

placing paintings in shadows and shadows in movement,

we are deconstructing its face,

exploring positive and negative space,

we invite souls to witness

vulnerability and sickness,

tell somebody:

this body is your inheritance.

Sky Su and Gunnar Bjercke invoke their fathers in an enactment of a memory from their childhoods, using storytelling, candle-lit shadow play, a dance-struggle in semidarkness and a masked conjuration.
