Imagine you are standing at the end of the world, on top of the highest mountain, in front of the largest sea, at that point where you can’t imagine time has ever passed. Me:Mo confronts these extremes of insignificance and magnitude in two connected works. Vertical Memory is a solo for choreographer Filip Van Huffel in which he challenges the interface between his body and the spatial memory of four different environments. The group work Horizontal Memory is a collage of recollections. Delving into the performers individuality, quirks, truths and fantasies, Horizontal Memory highlights the diversity of personal existence, history and physical belonging.

Me:Mo was made possible with support from Arts Council England, Vlaamse Gemeenschap and Cultuurcentrum Berchem. Danseshus Copenhagen, Hoger Instituut voor Dans, Cultuurcentrum Ter Dilft Bornem and Greenwich Dance Agency London.
