I May Always Ask Her Anything

| Imagining Community
(BALi, KulturBahnhof Kassel)

A small community and a strong family bond, in which a dialog between mother and daughter blurs the line between the need for clarification and the desire for healing. Slowly and carefully, we reveal the symbolism behind the cherry tree, which the mother is having chopped down. It takes time for wounds to heal, and patience to find images and language to speak about what used to be and what is present now.
