This work explores the expressive qualities of scents through spoken monologues, while the dancers’ bodies and objects construct sensory images of smell. Divided into chapters titled “Awakening,” “Evaporation,” and “Sealing,” the work traces a progression of stirring, release, and retention, evoking unspoken emotional experiences associated with the scent of hair, clothing, and letters.
Through the imagery of water, smoke, and mist, bodies move, disperse, and converge, rendering the weight of scent visible as past psychological responses repeatedly emerge and recede. As “damp memories” permeates the performance space, traces of memory seep through, quietly opening a dialogue with scent and inviting the audience to enter the depths of their own intensely private inner imaginings.
本作品以演員獨白連結萬物氣味的表現特徵,舞者的肢體與物件構築出氣味的感官意象。「喚醒」、「揮發」、「封存」等篇章,循著觸動、釋放與留存的演進,訴說著髮香、衣物、信件,那些尚未被言說的情感經驗。作品藉由水、煙、霧之意象,與身體在此之間流動、聚散,使過往的心理反應在顯現與隱沒之間反覆浮現,可視化了氣味的重量。隨著「潮濕的記憶」在場域中蔓延,記憶的痕跡滲透,也由此悄悄展開一場關於氣味的對話,邀請觀者在其中一同直抵極其私密的內在想像。
