I Remember… begins with a simple belief: identity is shaped by how we hold our experiences. For many children and youth with special needs, their stories are often told for them — through labels, reports, and expectations. This work shifts that narrative. It creates space for them to author their own remembering.

Situated within The Work of Forgetting, the project reframes forgetting not as erasure, but as choice. What do we release? What do we carry forward? How do we remember ourselves without being confined by fear, urgency, or imposed definitions?

The creative approach is sensory and accessible. Movement is built through repetition and simple tasks. Light, sound, and tactile elements provide grounding cues. The structure values presence over virtuosity, and agency over polish. Each performer moves within their own rhythm, contributing meaningfully to a shared whole.

The intention is not to present resilience as spectacle, but as everyday humanity. Audiences are invited to slow down and witness attentively. In doing so, remembering becomes constructive — a way of gathering fragments and shaping identity with care.

Through collective remembering, we rebuild how we see ability, dignity, and belonging.
