HOMERE: Homeomnesia and the Memory of Movement: A Longitudinal Study of Gestural Reactivation
By Edem Allado, physician-researcher and artist
What if a single gesture could span an entire lifetime? Presented during the lecture by Edem Allado and Madeleine Planeix-Crocker on October 8, 2026, HOMERE is a research-creation project conceived and directed by Edem Allado, at the intersection of dance, music, and clinical research. The concept is simple: over the course of ten years, the same gesture is recreated from memory, year after year, to observe how time, the body, and experience transform it. A stage of this long-term research project is presented at the Wrong Gallery in *Endless Sunday*. Building on the experience of the installation in the Grande Nef, this session offers the public a rare glimpse into a study process that is usually conducted behind closed doors. More than a dance performance, it offers insight into the research process itself. On stage, the performer reconnects with the music and attempts to recreate the original choreography, without any prompts or prior rehearsal. Between permanence and change, the movement becomes the space where the transformations of memory are revealed. The audience is thus invited to share a moment in which the creative process becomes visible, centered on one question: what turns a moment into a memory?
