A street performance based on a childhood memory and the philosophical concept of time developed by Henri Bergson. It explores the experience of being left alone at 1.5 years old — surrounded by toys and an old telephone — and how that short absence stretched into what felt like eternity. The performance reflects on how time, in Bergson’s terms, becomes subjectivized. 

Revisiting this memory as an adult, I stage it not in a closed room but in a public space, transforming the fear of abandonment . Old telephones are used as performative partners: they are tied into a sacred circle, to be disconnected then like an umbilical cord. The perfromance ended with a gesture of return — a real phone call to my mother.
