Esu killed a bird yesterday with the stone he threw today. Can we really do that - make time our own? The riddle of time. How to deal with a haunting past while simultaneously acting in the present, with its stratifications, crossroads, traces? Together with artists/researchers based in Salvador I hope to explore ways of telling, showing and performing stories.
