  • Janek Turkowski “Margarete” Performed in English with Japanese dubbing

An inquiry into human memory and personal identity, following the clues left behind on a series of film reels... Performed by the director himself for an audience of just 25 each time.

Marking the first performances in Japan by the Polish director Janek Turkowski, “Margarete” started as an act of curiosity that led him to purchase 64 reels of 8mm film featuring a stranger living near the border of East Germany. Noting the way the images in the old film reels were selected by whomever shot them as well as the sentimental landscapes of the Communist era, Turkowski wanted to use the footage to make something one day. The result is this highly intimate solo performance by the director for a very small audience each time, exploring questions of how memory is generation and how our identity is shaped.
