Azimut dekolonial / Remix
A living archive of colonial legacy
The term AZIMUT - from Arabic السموت, as-sumūt, is a term from astronomy and means, among other things, "the paths". Following the traces of colonialism, the young performers of the transnational ensemble Hajusom travelled to their countries of origin, bringing back stories and transforming thier memories into choreography and song. The multilingual performance with video recordings, installations, lectures and live music (Viktor Marek) reflects the intensity of the individual experiences, allowing the audience to be immersed in experienced and narrative memories, personal and collective histories. Do we all see the same stars?
