What if each step we take actually moves the Earth itself?

Memento Mori is a solo work performed with a cyr wheel. The piece explores how our choices shape our lives and how each of us holds the power to influence our own path.

The text of the work reflects on the hamster wheel of modern life, the act of stepping away from it, and the significance of an individual’s choices in the context of the planet: our choices affect others, our actions matter, and at any moment we can decide to reclaim that power.

The performance features a cyr wheel and an eight-metre-high sand-and-water cascade. It has been performed in Finland, Spain and France.
