ARCHIVE

Journey into a mind where memory, music and myth have merged. This intimate, autobiographical piece explores memory of a survivor of childhood trauma.

D E S C E N T is an intimate autobiographical performance rooted in music, mythology and objecthood.

‘She was just a foolish girl, living with her head in the clouds’, and she was different from her high school friends. Now an adult, the discovery of specific items from her past (which she had long since hidden from herself) sends her into a spiral of stories that make her question her own version of events.

Descending into the dark world of the past she uncovers a secret that will change her forever and force her to confront her own naivety. Using objects, stories and songs from their past, KH builds a world in which music, memory and myth are interchangeable and invites you to explore what’s true and false in her dark and unforgiving world.
