Restlessness
External life continues while the inner life remains trapped in memory.
The project
Inspired by Fernando Pessoa’s The Book of Disquiet, Restlessness follows characters who experience real life at a distance, carrying a past that prevents them from fully inhabiting the present.
The work was commissioned for Pittsburgh-based Bodiography after the artists met in Salford and became part of the American company’s repertoire.
