FEELINGS
i saw you called?
“I saw you called? Haven’t heard from you in a while. It’s nice that you reached out. Back then I always knew what was going on with you.” This is the beginning of a chat about love, memory, and identity between two people who were once very close. Now they feel a distance and search for explanations for the new relationship, for the gaps and the shadows that can no longer be grasped. From time to time, a protagonist retreats into their memories – into games, like the ones in the video arcades they used to play so often: Maybe the answers need to be played out. The duo FEELINGS is known for its interactive story games. For HAU, the Berlin artists are developing an intimate conversation between two people of different generations. “How did this game go again?”
