Show Gone
With Show Gone, Toronto-based Ame Henderson and Croatian artist Matija Ferlin bring to a close a trilogy of duos that began 15 years ago — a creative friendship and a choreographic relay carried through time.
Now, after years apart — their lives transformed, their bodies changed — the two artists ask themselves: what must we reveal to each other in order to move forward together once more? How do we reconnect after life has momentarily pulled us apart?
The performance unfolds like an anti social media scroll session, laying bare both the desire to control the narrative and the impossibility of doing so. Instead of static images shown just fast enough to mimic life, it offers fragments of lived stories, at human speed. And from this endless sequence of endings, a quiet sense of beginning slowly emerges.
