e choreographer Helena Waldmann describes the ability to forget, to be able, as an essential basic function of human memory, which liberated the ancient Lethe, the river of forgetfulness or the delete button on the computer. With increasing age and increasing wisdom there is no alternative than to surrender to oblivion: "... from morning to night and day by day, brusque with his own pleasure and pain, namely on the peg of the moment and therefore neither sadly still tired. "

Ironically, the theaters, this professional institution of remembering where it is about the memorization of sentences or the repetition of steps to getting a repertoire or a tradition, Waldmann shows in their choreography forgetting and the all-consuming presence of the moment. The absolute concentration in losing the personality, there is no purpose anymore, everything just happens on its own - perfect art.

The Berlin dancer Rodemund Brit's choreography sets the forest to magnificent. revolver is not for a second get corny, bitter or cynical. A moving evening with powerful images and humorous lyrics.

"So sober and poignant at the same time we have seen on stage dementia barely ... a wonderfully powerful piece. Abendzeitung Munich

"The ballerina Brit Rodemund demonstrated fußflink ballet variations in how the body's memory suddenly exposed and left to die every move can be. The voiceover explains a neurologist for a brain section of the symptoms of brain atrophy, explaining nothing. The hand moves the ballerina in the step and shows that the claim does not stop, but that the shame disappears with the mind. Waldmann is clever as ever and clearly outlined for the pictures, tell what they want. Sueddeutsche Zeitung
