Sinopsis

Wholly Full is a physical theatre performance that explores adaptation to change – either to long-term transformations or to crises, when the norms of everyday life become distorted and uncertain.


In this context, the metaphor of «topography», the fixation of changes in a landscape, is used, but the concept is expanded to refer also to the body, mental states and memory.


Each of the three performers reflects on their specific experiences of change over the past years, which were marked by pandemic and war. Each in their own way questions the ways of finding wholeness in a state of permanent crisis.
