Patio Pileta – Courtyard Pool (Vöcks de Schwindt)

In the organizer's words:

In the 1970s, an inexpensive, collapsible pool called the Pelopincho revolutionized summers in Argentina for those who couldn't travel. To this day, it can still be found on terraces, in gardens and courtyards - a symbol of everyday urban culture. The performance follows the traces of performer Gabriela Turano's childhood in a suburb of Buenos Aires in the 1990s to her current life in Berlin. What happens when memories of summer days in the pool are evoked? How can nostalgia become an act of the present? With sensitivity and humor, the performance tells of migration, identity and the contradictions of self-chosen emigration. With the Pelopincho at the center, the play gives space to the different levels of meaning that an object can take on in the course of our lives.
