The Symptoms present Sea Lavender

directed by | Réka Szabó

In this duet of two women, a 90-year-old Auschwitz-Birkenau survivor teams up with a young dancer. Evoking the past and fulfilling desires. Remembrance and the will to live. The euphoria of movement. Squeezing pleasure out of the moment, as if it was the last. Making plans in the cattle wagon. Sea Lavender is not a domesticated plant. It used to cover the planes around Debrecen. It grew accustomed to the saline soil. It belongs to the family of leadworths. It has an acrid scent. It’s a native plant.
