Performance
A touching trio about longing, memories, and loss

What exactly are we trying to preserve when we refuse to let go of a loved one? In a gripping and deeply personal duet, we follow a close relationship that gradually fades away due to Alzheimer's — a disease that steals movements, memories, and identity.

Good morning, Sindre is a powerful, visual, and deeply personal dance performance that hits right in the heart. On stage, we meet three bodies in an open space: Baele himself, and dancers Maxime De Boeck and Lisha Chen. Together, they invite us into a touching universe where memories and identity are woven together through physical interaction and presence. The trio is an expression of both sorrow and love, and the attempt to hold on to what is disappearing. Through movement and body language, the fight to preserve memories and identity is conveyed, and the performance raises important questions about what we truly preserve when we refuse to let go.

Jean-Baptiste Baele explores how we move, interact, and carry history in our bodies. He creates powerful and moving performances that resonate with audiences regardless of background.

Good morning, Sindre is a performance for all who have experienced longing, wondered about the power of memory, or tried to hold on to something, or someone, who is in the process of disappearing. The performance is a warm tribute to humanity and love.
