Langzaam gleed een berg het dal in

In her solo Langzaam gleed een berg het dal in, Laura Vroom works with anecdotes and memories to investigates how we deal with our past. She focuses on seemingly unimportant moments that form a story or identity. How do we deal with time and finitude? What are memories precisely? In a poetic, philosophical and absurd language, Vroom wants to take us on a trip down memory lane.
