# Performative Installation

Collective memory is not really a "memory", but a type of "social convention"

Some people suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder after a major threat or disaster, for which a common symptom is the re-experiencing of the traumatic event in dreams or memories. If you are the one involved, how would you face such a predicament?

This production is based on real-life incidents of sexual violence and Shiori Ito's case. Participants take on the role of tenants and enter the scene to peek, observe and sense the dark side of group or individual consciousness, thereby reflecting on what it means to be a perpetrator, and what it means to be a victim. Is empathy simply built on social norms, or can it be a glimmer of light paving the way to one's twist of fate?
