Memories inhabit the body and the body projects those memories. “When do we start to drink coffee, when do we reach adulthood?” This is the question the members of Nibroll asked seventeen years ago in Coffee, a work where they explore how the obscure boundaries of adulthood overlap with memories that do not fade away. Now, the story continues in a new piece that asks what the body remembers and what it forgets.
