A balloon drifts upward.
A body remains.
Between gravity and disappearance, Remember to Fall in Love unfolds as a meditation on fragility, longing, and the quiet persistence of tenderness.
The work inhabits a world where familiar certainties have begun to dissolve. Bodies gather, separate, return. Gestures emerge and vanish. Moments of intimacy are interrupted by forces that remain unnamed yet unmistakably present. What appears playful gradually reveals an underlying tension; what seems light carries unexpected weight.
At the center of the piece is the balloon: an object suspended between celebration and loss, innocence and absurdity. Floating above the performers, it becomes a fragile witness to human attempts at connection.
Rather than telling a story, Remember to Fall in Love creates a landscape of images. A space where vulnerability is not presented as weakness, but as a form of resistance. A space where affection, attention, and care survive despite the growing brutality of the world around them.
In the end, the work asks neither for optimism nor despair.
Only for the courage to remain open.

Press & Reviews

The choreographer Miro Holzer has achieved stylistic unity as well as a strong purity of choreographic line in a markedly aestheticized choreographic action that is quite dark, suggesting a sense of black poetry."
Zelma Alamaleh

"Initially gloomy, the sound of rain and wind, as well as fog emanating from the stage, create a tense atmosphere that leads to a frightening journey into the underworld. As dancing couples nestle together to the spiritual 'Motherless Child', there is a haunting scene that results in either longing or hope for love as they dance in awe. Long applause."
